Actually, no, that isn't it. It's that brightness change is self-evident, so there is no reason to notify. This project should work on mainstreaming its work more, not differentiating more. Our OSD is a hack that fills a need that should be filled in a more general way. When we looked at other OSD notification systems, they did not fit with the desire to have a minimal system (i.e. not depending on GNOME/KDE infrastructure). Until a viable alternative appears, we do the minimum necessary to fill that void. I would rather we not layer on more complexity here but keep the feature set small and light. It is easy to give users more features, but much harder to take them away. In an ideal world, the whole eeepc-acpi-scripts package would not exist. There would be an OSD solution that meets our needs and would work on any hardware.
