/Settings/Gui/Brightness is being set to a max of 100 when Venus OS boots.
The maximum value of the Raspberry PI 7" touchscreen is 255 so the maximum brightness available is about 40%.
You can set the brightness to a higher value in the Display menu but it is set back to 100 after boot. dbus-spy will only allow values up to 100 as well.
Restarting the gui (killall gui) resets the max to 100.
Hello @Kevin Windrem, can you check what /sys/class/backlight/backlight/max_brightness contains for this backlight driver.
FYI, this value propagates to the veplatform values used in the Display menu. So I think the issue is just the /Settings value that's reset each time the GUI boots.
My RpiDisplaySetup now resets the max brightness value every time the GUI starts up. This is a messy way to solve the problem but it appears to work.
