Hi, please kindly direct me to the right community to ask this:
Plasma 6 is my favorite DE and i use KDE neon. The screen brightness adapts automatically to the windows i focus on, which is a good idea. But it does that the wrong way IMO. Dark windows are dimmed and bright windows are lit up. Why? Now i have both extremes switching back and forth all the time. Can we turn that the other way around or turn it off please?
I like that the screens hardware brightness setting is used now from the desktop. Great! But now i have no control over it anymore, since when i open a bright window, the brightness setting goes up too. I hate that at night.
Usually adjusting the brightness for me has one purpose:
- bright room: max display brightness (day)
- dark room: min display brightness (night)
…maybe something in between for transition. All the other features are nice to have but please only work on them when this main feature is secured.
I believe you’re talking about the challenges discussed here: https://blogs.kde.org/2024/09/04/brightness-controls-for-all-your-displays/
If both monitors are messing with your sensors, you may just want to disable adaptive brightness and manually control it. They don’t seem to have a workaround for it as of yet.
