Getting a build error right now because the package is named 'clight' with a lowercase 'c', but github is 'Clight' with an uppercase. Errors out while makepkg is trying to change directory into the src dir.

Awesome idea and program. How can i change the timer from 30 secs to 15 secs and also how can i use clight instead of xbacklight to change the brightness of the screen via keybindings

hi! Sorry for the long delay (please @everyone open an issue on github; i do not visit here often and sometimes notifications are not sent)

You should change /etc/default/clight.conf, under Backlight section, "ac_timeouts" and "batt_timeouts".

also how can i use clight instead of xbacklight to change the brightness of the screen via keybindings

Update your keybindings to use "busctl --user call org.clight.clight /org/clight/clight org.clight.clight IncBl "d" 0.1" (+10%) or "DecBl" to lower it.

Don't forget to add pkgconf as a build dependency for this package

pkgconf is part of base-devel group, a prerequisite to use aur.
See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository

Thank you very much, i didn't notice the error. Sorry for being some days late but i did not receive any notification!

The sha256sum for the source is different, it is now fc3c4952c755bad5f4274f69f5cc17142abb51d88d7c615873e3058edc1c1137.

Same for me. clight-aur and clightd-aur do commpile, but don't work:

$clight --verbose

Clightd found, version: 4.1.
AC curve: y = 0.033287 + 0.128536x + -0.003963x^2
BATT curve: y = -0.003636 + 0.145152x + -0.006970x^2
Keyboard backlight calibration supported.
Failed to create org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver dbus interface: Unknown error -1
Fallback at monitoring requests to org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver name owner.
AC cable disconnected.
Laptop lid opened.
Emitting AcState property
Set timeout of 0s 1ns on fd 40.
Emitting LidState property
Set timeout of 60s 0ns on fd 40.

And it just stops there, no calibrations are made, also gamma does not change...
