Rust port of this Python script.

It allows individual brightness levels for each workspace and changes the brightness automatically while switching between them.

cargo install i3-workspace-brightness

yay -S i3-workspace-brightness

Add this line to your i3 config:

exec_always --no-startup-id i3-workspace-brightness

Use GET_BRIGHTNESS and SET_BRIGHTNESS environment variables for the command to use. For example:

export GET_BRIGHTNESS="light"
export SET_BRIGHTNESS="light -S {}"
i3-workspace-brightness

or set the variables while running i3-workspace-brightness:

GET_BRIGHTNESS="light" SET_BRIGHTNESS="light -S {}" i3-workspace-brightness
