Bug ID: 503660
Summary: Screen brightness setting not available via system
settings
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The system tray has some accessibility issues for me, which is why I commonly
disable it. The main reason is that the control over what's visible or not is a
mess, and there is no white list mode. This means however that changing screen
brightness at leas without special keyboard shortcuts seems to be unavailable,
because there doesn't seem to be a different alternate dialog available to the
system tray. For example, searching "brightness" in the system settings only
shows the delayed dimming of the power settings, but not the current in the
moment screen brightness slider.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable system tray
2. Open system settings
3. Try to find "brightness" setting for screen
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no in-the-moment brightness setting. Only the dimming setting for
power saving after inactivity appears to be available, which isn't the same
thing.
EXPECTED RESULT
There is a brightness setting in the system settings that is easy to find.
