Thanks so much Renate!

Might just be me, but I still find this too bright. At the lowest setting (warmest colour, 5% brightness) adb shows me the levels as:

Code:

Poke3:/ $ cat /sys/class/backlight/warm/brightness
64
Poke3:/ $ cat /sys/class/backlight/white/brightness
0

Hope you don't mind, but I disassembled your app and hardcoded a version to set the levels to the following:

Code:

Poke3:/ $ cat /sys/class/backlight/warm/brightness
5
Poke3:/ $ cat /sys/class/backlight/white/brightness
0

4 is too dark even for me, and [0,1,2,3] actually turn off the light.

I find this hacky solution perfect when reading at night in the pitch dark, and if I ever need more brightness at other times I'll use the built in controls.

Thanks massively for sharing the original app anyhow!
