Description Michal Zatloukal 2010-09-14 07:49:02 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

For various reasons (external keyboard, kernel acpi bug), a user might be forced to use the desktop environment instead of the keys to adjust the brightness level. This should be very quick and easy to do.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
Scrolling over the battery meter's tray icon does nothing.

Expected Results:  
Scrolling over the meter should adjust brightness in appropriate steps, in a similar way volume is adjusted now when scrolling over KMix's tray icon.

Wasn‘t there a debate about this and plasma developers decided against this so useful idea?
Voted for that. It should work the same way KMix‘ icon adjusts volume. Yes, we have the Fn-keys but why not make a more consistent overall look? Scrolling the volume icon -> Adjust volume, Scrolling the battery -> Adjust power comsumption, i.e. screen brightness. It‘s not too far away from being logical.
