Is there anyway to take the functionality of the brightness unlinked app but leave it running in the top bar? The only downside to the brightness unlinked app is that it must stay running in the notification bar.

I know that Jason-THE-MAN-Robitaille recently added a brightness slider to the top bar. Just wondering if it would be possible to add a slider for the keyboard brightness.

Another request from here, please!

Jason Robitaille

Are you saying you want is a separate patch for the keyboard, or just add keyboard backlight slider to the existing one?

Does the current slider adjust both the display and keyboard backlight or just the display?

the current patch toggles both display and keyboard at the same time...we want a toggle that does them separately...one for the keyboard and one for the display

the current slider adjusts both the screen and keyboard, a patch to split these two would be excellent for sure then i could delete the brightness unlinked app. and be in good shape still.

This was accomplished through an app called Brightness Unlinked (sorry don't remember who the developer was). In order for the app to function correctly, it had to be running at all times and automatically closed to the notification area.

If possible, we would like to keep the notification space and add the slider to the top bar so that it's out of the way.

exactly...I've been dying for brightness unlinked to be bug free but at the same time I'd rather have a patch instead of an app

well there is a patch to add brightness slider to top menu could you just add another slider that says either screen or keyboard . that would be sweet. or make it have a dropdown like bluetooth, that has screen and keyboard sliders . i dont know if you would have to redo the current patch or add to it or what.

brightness unlinked works even after you close the app and you can run it in dashboard if you like. i would just rather have it in the top menu so i have more room for another app.

Exactly what I'm looking for. The Brightness Unlinked app works except having it run in the top menu vs the notification dashboard would be MUCH better!

k, so here's my first attempt at the dual brightness slider patch.

the tricky thing is, as faras I could tell, I only saw a service request that set the display and/or keyboard lights, not get the current light status, which complicates things a bit. Especially when you consider things that could potentially alter the brightness/settings (powering on/off, resetting the device, moving the slider, etc.).

With this patch, there's the potential that the keyboard backlight may continue lit when slid closed. I don't have a Pre, I can't test. So this is really just best guess. Personally I find my single slider one much cleaner.

So anyway, here's the patch, enjoy
