Bug ID: 497721
Summary: allow the user to name the monitors, for improved
usability of the brightness settings
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_kscreen
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When setting the brightness ("Brightness and Color" widget) in a multi-monitor
setup, the screens are named according to the DDC-extracted information. This
tends to be confusing (which is which?). By allowing the user to give names to
the monitors (e.g. : "left", "right"), and overriding the DDC-derived names
with these user-defined names, the usability of the "Brightness and Color"
widget would be improved. It would also look tidier than names such as "Dell
Inc. DELL P2217H".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the "Brightness and Color" widget.
OBSERVED RESULT
Clunky names such as "Dell Inc. DELL P2217H".
EXPECTED RESULT
Relevant and tidy names such as "left" and "right".
