auto adjust brightness depending on the clarity of the image displayed  
Written by kenjiu2002 the 17 Nov 10 at 15:49. Related project: Compiz Advanced Settings (ccsm). New
This was originaly a rather stunning fonction integrated to some NEC screens. NEC called that technology "auto-bright". I thought we could adapt the concept in software. Excessive or insufficient brightness tires the eyes. Therefore, as some pages are white (as google) and others are dark, the only way to keep the best setting is to compensate this frequent color variation by the appropriate brightness correction. This could also improve the autonomy of laptops.

Solution #1: Modify compiz plugin AND create an independant package.
Written by kenjiu2002 the 17 Nov 10 at 15:49.
Modify the compiz plugin "opacity, brightness and saturation" by adding the auto-bright fonctionnality and giving choice between two modes: screen mode and window mode. The window mode would adjust brightness of each window according to its own colors, while screen mode would adjust the entire screen brightness (or backlight) to its colors too.

AND

Create an independant package doing the same stuff, so that everybody can use it, either he uses compiz, metacity, or other. For example, take the case of the netbook that i am using now: compiz slow it down significantly so i don't use compiz on this computer, and i am constantly changing manually the brightness setting because of my particular sensitivity of the eyes.
