Is it possible to adjust the power manager plugin so the bightness doesn't go so low when scrolling over the battery icon to change it?

Desktop Environments XFCE
5

According to this xfce documentation and here in the ArchWiki there is a hidden setting in xfce-power-manager to specify a minimum brightness level.

  1. Run xfce4-settings-editor in terminal
  2. Click on + Add and enter
  • Property:
    /xfce4-power-manager/brightness-slider-min-level
  • Type:
    Int
  • Value: e. g.
    5

-OR- completely via cli
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/brightness-slider-min-level -t int --create -s 5
where -s 5 being an example minimum value of “5”.

Disclaimer: This could be a hardware-specific solution. I’m currently nowhere near a xfce desktop and can’t test the above.
