Add or override the brightness slider to change the brightness via an alpha layer (and optionally stop using or cooperate with the exising backlight, if present). Either internal, external or all monitors can be dimmed. See the GitHub page for details. Note that this extension will keep running on the lock screen, as you'd also want the brightness setting to apply to the lock screen as well. Please report on GitHub if this gives you any trouble. This extension is a fork of the original 'Soft brightness' extension, and maintains support for new GNOME releases.
Note: Binary files aren't shown on the web site. To see all files, please download the extension zipfile.

What's the reason for using session modes and also checking session modes in disable? (line 123 extension.js).
Added a comment to explain. // In order to maintain the same brightness settings when the device // is locked and unlocked, the extension will remain active while // the lock screen is shown. // * In GS 42+, this is taken care of by including // "unlock-dialog" in "session-modes". // * In GS 41-, disable() will be called when switching to the lock // screen, and enable() will be called when the screen is unlocked. // Check for the session mode and skip disabling accordingly.
