Hello I installed this fantastic distro on a iota 360 2in1 laptop. Everything works out the box except no battery indicator and more importantly brightness. I went into preference but can’t find any brightness slider. I’m on openbox I don’t have any brightness keys on the keyboard for some reaso…

Hello @giukas , yay -S brightnessctl (Should it be missing.) insert sg like this into ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml <keybind key="W-F11"> <action name="Execute"> <command>brightnessctl s 5%-</command> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="W-F12"> <action name="Execut…

@giukas I have been looking for iOTA Flo 360 images and all of them have clearly marked the brightness keys. This may be obvious but press Fn + F4 and Fn + F5 key combination. :thinking:

Battery indicator should appear in panel when battery is less than 90% loaded (if your Mabox installation is relatively fresh - this was added in Dec 2022 release IIRC). It only shows percentage. You can also install and use cbatticon - lightweight battery icon for the system tray.

Thank you all for your feedback. Got it working in the end

Power Manager also has a System tray icon, which can be enabled on the General tab. @napcok can the new battery indicator be coerced to always show, instead of only below 90%?

Tint2 docs about battery indicator → doc/t…

Hello @zolw I follow your advices: Super+F11 and Super+F12 is good for me. Thank You.
