  • ddcci-plasmoid

    KDE Plasma widget to adjust the brightness of multiple external monitors

    • Inspired by the great tool Monitorian, I built a simple Widget to adjust the brightness of external monitors via DDC/CI. Source and installation guide is available on the GitHub Repository. I appreciate any feedback and criticism. I have never worked with QML or anything Plasma-related before, so prepare for some bugs.

  • ddcutil

    Control monitor settings using DDC/CI and USB

    • This widget uses ddcutil (https://www.ddcutil.com/) under the hood. You can just use its command line interface or build a GUI wrapper around this, which is exactly what I did here. There are also GUI applications like https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcui available, though they lack DE integration of course.
