    Is this script something you’d like to see as an entry in antiX Control Centre? Would it work using antiX Viewer, or is a bolide browser like firefox/chrome/derivates needed? Sorry, had not the time to test.

    After testing a minimalized and simplified version, yes – this will be included as a Control Centre entry.

    Regarding the browser requirement: The web interface works with any modern browser that supports JavaScript, including lightweight options like Pale Moon or Dillo (if JavaScript-enabled). However, **the web interface is optional** – the tool has three modes of operation:

    1. Terminal menu interface (./scl or ./scl menu) – Works entirely in terminal, no browser needed
    2. Command-line mode (./scl auto, ./scl day, etc.) – Direct commands for automation
    3. Web GUI (./scl web) – Opens a browser interface with real-time sliders

    For Control Centre integration, we’ll likely use either the terminal menu or direct command-line options, eliminating any browser dependency. The web interface is primarily for users who prefer visual controls.

    Note: The version being integrated will be streamlined specifically for Control Centre use, focusing on the most essential features while maintaining the core functionality.

    Which interface would you prefer for the Control Centre version?

    Option A: Web-based GUI – Real-time sliders, visual feedback, easier to use but requires browser
    Option B: Minimal CLI version – Terminal-only, lighter weight, no dependencies, uses numbered menus or direct commands

    Also, if anyone has tested this on different antiX versions (Core, Base, Full, etc.) or minimal installations, I’d appreciate feedback on:
    – Does it work correctly on your system?
    – Are the dependencies (python3, sct, xrandr) already present?
    – Any performance issues or missing features?
    – Which interface mode worked best for your setup?

    Your testing and preferences will help determine the best approach for the Control Centre integration.
