Can you describe the use cases you've got that aren't supported adequately right now? If you had these features, how would you use them? Thanks!

Comment 2 17lifers 2025-05-28 14:01:34 UTC

It would be more convenient to manage Night Light intensity and times in the Brightness and Color widget in the taskbar.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-05-28 19:04:16 UTC

Sure, but why? What's the specific situation where you're wanting to do this so frequently that it's feeling annoying to open the System Settings page (which is only one additional click away) to accomplish the goal?
