SUMMARY

The KDE6 Brightness & Color Applet should add the ability to control the contrast of the monitor as well. Almost every monitor ever made supports contrast adjustment and it is well supported by ddcutil. The Dell applet on Windows for my monitor also allows contrast adjustment. Use cases for having this adjustment easily available in the applet include
- changes in lighting conditions between day and night
- gaming vs normal desktop usage

I had hacked together my own applet for this in KDE5 but it no longer works in KDE6.
