Brightness slider replacing brightness quick action button from 1903

Hi all

Does anyone else feel like they've lost some functionality here?

For clarity, I'm talking about option 3 in this very useful guide.

I understand that the new slider gives more control, but the previous method was very quick to change in increments of 25%, and I tend not to always need such granular controls beyond this.

My suggestion would be to keep the slider, but to turn the bulb icon just to the left of it into a button which increases the brightness in 25% increments per the previous quick action button functionality.

Thoughts?

You could replicate the earlier behaviour using a program like PowerPlanSwitcher. Just make copies of the power plan(s) you use, set each one to a particular display brightness and name them accordingly (i.e. 'Balanced - 50%', etc.) That will allow you to switch between different brightness levels with as little as only 2 mouse clicks.
