Extras

The Extras folder contains a few scripts that are not directly related to my i3wm configuration.

brightness.sh - This is a script used to reset the screen brightness if you have accidentally set it to 0. (The config allows you to map brightness controls to F7 and F8 so you shouldn't have to worry about this).

charge_control - A script I made to control the charging threshold on my laptop.

❗⚠️Only tested on an ROG G731GU Laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 focal⚠️❗

rog_charge_control_py - A Python3 implementation of the above charging threshold project using PyQt. NOTE: This lacks features included in the above project.

wastemem.c - A program written by Jerry Cooperstein to defrag memory. Obtained from his course
