A simple GTK application for controlling screen brightness and gamma on the GhostBSD or FreeBSD desktop.
- Adjust screen brightness.
- Adjust screen contrast (gamma).
- Select from multiple connected displays.
- A clean, simple, and lightweight interface.
This application is designed for GhostBSD running the X Window System (X11), which is the default for desktops like MATE and XFCE.
It has two main dependencies that must be installed on your system for the binary to run:
xrandr: A command-line tool that the application uses to interface with the display server to change screen settings.- GTK4 Libraries: The graphical interface is built with GTK4, and its runtime libraries must be available on your system.
To install and run the display-control binary on GhostBSD, follow these steps.
First, open a terminal and install the required xrandr tool and GTK4 runtime libraries using the pkg package manager.
sudo pkg install xrandr gtk4

Download the display-control binary file from the Releases page of this repository.
(Note: Remember to update the link to your repository's releases page.)
Navigate to your Downloads directory (or wherever you saved the file) and make the binary executable.
chmod +x display-control
To make the application available system-wide from any terminal, move it to /usr/local/bin.
