Is it intended that this only operates on one monitor at a time? I have to switch back and fourth between outputs to adjust each screen. My feature request would be to add a "lock" option where all outputs are synced.

Thanks for the applet cardsurf!

Thank you very much. However, upon using it for a 24 hour long, the LCD monitor screen would slowly be brighten back to 100 percent. I would need to keep changing it back to 60 percent every hour or so.

If I play Starcraft 2 on PlayonLinux, the brightness would bounce back from 60 percent to 100 percent right away.

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks cardsurf for a perfectly simple applet. For months I have been using xrandr from the command line to adjust my external monitor's brightness. This is so much nicer.
