Problem with backlight control notification

[Magrid]

Hello, I recently installed Endeavour with i3 on my laptop, at first the brightness key weren’t working but i managed to fix the script by using brightnessctl instead of xbacklight. So now the buttons work, but in the notification that appear when you press the brightness key instead of seeing the backlight percentage i only get some sort of gear icon. How can I fix it to show the actual percentage? I’m sure it is accessible because if i change the brightness in the terminal by manually using brighnessctl set +10% it also return the current percentage so i guess there must be a way to access it.

If it can be of any help here’s the script:

#!/bin/bash

# taken from here: https://gitlab.com/Nmoleo/i3-volume-brightness-indicator

# See README.md for usage instructions
bar_color="#7f7fff"
volume_step=1
brightness_step=2.5
max_volume=100

# Uses regex to get volume from pactl
function get_volume {
    pactl get-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ | grep -Po '[0-9]{1,3}(?=%)' | head -1
}

# Uses regex to get mute status from pactl
function get_mute {
    pactl get-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ | grep -Po '(?<=Mute: )(yes|no)'
}

# Uses regex to get brightness from xbacklight
function get_brightness {
    brightnessctl -d backlight get | awk '{printf "%.0f", ($1 / $(brightnessctl -d backlight max)) * 100}'
}

# Returns a mute icon, a volume-low icon, or a volume-high icon, depending on the volume
function get_volume_icon {
    volume=$(get_volume)
    mute=$(get_mute)
    if [ "$volume" -eq 0 ] || [ "$mute" == "yes" ] ; then
        volume_icon=""
    elif [ "$volume" -lt 50 ]; then
        volume_icon=""
    else
        volume_icon=""
    fi
}

# Always returns the same icon - I couldn't get the brightness-low icon to work with fontawesome
function get_brightness_icon {
    brightness_icon=""
}

# Displays a volume notification using dunstify
function show_volume_notif {
    volume=$(get_mute)
    get_volume_icon
    dunstify -i audio-volume-muted-blocking -t 1000 -r 2593 -u normal "$volume_icon $volume%" -h int:value:$volume -h string:hlcolor:$bar_color
}

# Displays a brightness notification using dunstify
function show_brightness_notif {
    brightness=$(get_brightness)
    get_brightness_icon
    dunstify -t 1000 -r 2593 -u normal "$brightness_icon $brightness%" -h int:value:$brightness -h string:hlcolor:$bar_color
}

GitHub - heyjuvi/avizo: A neat notification daemon

I use this on Hyprland.

[Magrid]

Do i just add exec "avizo-service" to my config and that’s all?

[xircon]

Read the github page, but yes, in my hyprland config:

exec-once = avizo-service&! # OSD brightness & volume

Is what I have. I haven’t used i3 in decades.

ok thanks, i’ll try it tomorrow.
