It's separate program with its own binary, not a bash builtin.Question, if I may? Is 'awk' actually a separate language used within Bash?
Yes, multiplication.I see you're using the '*' symbol in the print statement. Am I right in thinking that here it's simply being used as the 'multiplication' symbol, rather than a 'wild card'?
Ok, good to hear it works. The "redshiftgui" btw, has also a 'normal' brightness control (not manipulating the gamma)Anyway; just tried it out, and.....it works beautifully, Fred. The whole reason I wanted to do this was because I liked the idea of a straight-forward true 'brightness' control; RedShift has one built-in, as you know, but it's actually manipulating the gamma ramp, and (on my monitor at least) I get slightly odd side-effects from it.

Yes, better for who's afraid of the dark Yes, 10 may be better (in fact it is the same as 0.1 setting for xrandr)I see why you set 5 as a minimum!
EDIT:
I agree, always better to keep it separate, in case someone downloads your "brightness slider" .pet who's running a 64-bit OS.I'll probably supply a recent version of YAD for it, too, but I'll do so as a separate package this time, rather than building it in
If a 32-bit yad binary would be inside the pet, then yad probably doesn't work anymore on 64-bit (if it's being overwritten).
