Description

Clight is a C user daemon utility that aims to fully manage your display. It will automagically change screen backlight level to match ambient brightness, as computed by capturing frames from webcam. Moreover, it can manage your screen temperature, just like redshift does. Finally, it can dim your screen after a timeout.

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
