Help with AutoIt?, Laptop Brightness Control (SOLVED)

[UnforgivenRevival]

One more question. is there a way to make it so it reduces 20 or whatever every execution? for example. !execute ["nircmd.exe" setbrightness -20]?
or does it have to be a definite number?

Try using "changebrightness" instead of "setbrightness":

This command only works on laptop/netbook computers. It allows you to change the brightness of the laptop screen. The [level] parameter is brightness value to change. positive value increases the brightness, and negative value decreases the brightness.
{mode} is optional parameter that may conatin the following values:
1 = Change the brightness under AC power.
2 = Change the brightness under DC power.
3 = Change the brightness for both AC power amd DC power (The default).
Examples:
changebrightness 7
changebrightness -10
changebrightness 5 2

Thankyou very much. Works great except for some reason it "skips" brightness levels. My laptop has 8 different brightness levels and even setting to changebrightness 8 or -8, it goes 1(lowest), 3, 5, 7, 8(highest).


Anything lower than a value of 8 or -8 doesnt change anything brightness wise. Its not a big deal but why is it skipping?

Unfortunately I have no idea. Obviously, it isn't a Rainmeter problem, so you should try contacting Nircmd developers with your laptop information, to see if they can do something.

P.S. Don't quote me on this, but I thought that the values you were supposed to input would be in a total of 100% brightness. That means, if your laptop has 8 brightness levels, It should change level every 100/8 ~=12,5 units. Try it, but again, I have no idea if that's correct or not.

Yeah i tried it with multiple values and it still skips. Its not that big of a deal. I still get 5 different brightness levels with nircmd. I was just wondering if anyone knew, if anyone has gone through the same thing. Thanks for all the help tho.
