Starting clight

Please note that only 1 clight instance can be running for each user.

As clight strives to be a 0-conf software, it ships a xdg autostart desktop file.
This way, if your DE is xdg-compliant, clight will be automatically started for you.
If your DE is not xdg-compliant or you are running any WM, just add

clight

to your startup scripts (eg: .xinitrc).

Moreover, a desktop file to take a fast screen backlight recalibration, useful to be binded to a keyboard shortcut, is installed too, and it will show up in your applications menu. It offers some more secondary actions: pause and resume screen dimmer, and pause and resume automatic backlight calibration.
