Hi Ali,

I don't know if that feature is in or not, but I know it from the gnome power manager (and I know Mac OS X does this too). When you leave the computer idle for a defined time, the displays goes to the lowest luminosity.

Thanks for looking into such kind of a feature :)

Hi,

I would like this feature too , but it would be nice if the user could decide the brightness levels to be set when the system is on AC/Battery.

On my lenovo, Xfce Power Manager sets the brightness to 100% when i plug in the charger.
And i have to manually decrease this, as it is very uncomfortable.

Also, when I remove the charger, brightness falls to somewhere close to 50%, i think, immediately.
It would be better, if it did this in a slow fade, instead of a sudden change.

Lastly, thank you for such a wonderful app! :)
