Hi Gautam and Eduard,

Does brightlight work only on laptops, or also on desktops?
It should work on desktops too.
Note that nearly no desktop has a dimmable background lighting, which makes all kinds of brightness control apps next to useless.
On a separate note, perhaps you guys should consider including redshift ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Redshift), which is widely used by i3 users to help control the color temperature of their screens. A similar functionality is built into recent versions of GNOME, and I am a huge fan.
The Fedora i3 Spin is intended to be minimal but functional, that's why tons of software that can be useful isn't added by default, but we are talking to include it in the "extended" package group [1]. redshift is in fedora's repositories, so you can easily install it with dnf.
I think that we shouldn't add redshift by default to the spin, after all, not everyone will want to use it and installing it is really simple, especially once we have the extended package group in place. If we were talking about creating a ostree based spin, then this would be a completely different discussion of course.
Cheers,
Dan
