KLcdDimmer is an application for KDE that allows you to change the brightness of your LCD monitor.
KLcdDimmer is an impressive KDE applet that allows you to adjust the brightness of your LCD screen effortlessly. With a simple click of the mouse's left button, you can easily use the slider to change the brightness to your desired level. However, it's essential to note that KLcdDimmer relies on an external program like smartdimmer or nvclock to get or set the brightness.
One of the impressive things about KLcdDimmer is how it allows you to configure the applet to work with other external programs as well. I have personally used SmartDimmer and NVclock, but the applet is said to work efficiently with other programs. The configurations available give you the freedom to customize the applet to meet your preferences.
When it comes to installing KLcdDimmer, it's worth noting that you need to pass the KDE root directory as --prefix while running configure. The installation steps are pretty simple and are standard for packages installed in source form. You merely unpack the sources in a directory, move to the directory containing the package's source code, and execute the following steps: ./configure --prefix= make and lastly, make install (as root). Once the installation process is complete, you can easily add the KLcdDimmer applet to the panel using your KDE panel.
KLcdDimmer's latest version comes with impressive enhancements. Among them, the applet's tooltips have been fixed, and what's-this-helps have been added, making it easier to use. Also, the issue of geometry has been resolved, and KLcdDimmer now fits better on the panel. Overall, KLcdDimmer is an innovative applet that provides a seamless way of adjusting your LCD brightness, and it's worth trying out.
