I've modified the brightness plugin via ABS so that it displays the current brightness in its tooltip.
This works fine while the plugin itself is used to modify brightness.
However, when xbacklight is used, then the plugin will not know to update its tooltip, because it doesn't get notified about the brightness change.
What is an elegant way to contact brightness-plugin when xbacklight manipulates the backlight brightness?
My simple idea so far is:
xbacklight must be called by a script which will also write to a file in a specific location, and brightness-plugin will continuously poll that location, and then notice the brightness change when it sees that temporary file. That sounds pretty crude though, doesn't it?
Thanks
