[webkit-dev] Request for thoughts on the need to control screen brightness
Hello WebKit folks,
Since 2018, the W3C Devices and Sensors Working Group has received
significant requests from web developers surrounding the need to increase
the brightness of a device's screen.
Multiple solutions have been proposed in
https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/blob/gh-pages/brightness-mode-explainer.md
:
- Screen extension: await screen.requestBrightnessIncrease();
- Screen Wake Lock integration: await navigator.wakeLock.request({
increaseBrightness: true });
- navigator.screenBrightness
- and more.
We would really appreciate WebKit's folks reviewing this document and
possibly providing alternative solutions.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
Francois.

[webkit-dev] Request for HTMLInputElement showPicker()
Hi webkit-dev, This is a request for WebKit's position on adding showPicker() to elements as newly specified by the HTML spec. It addresses a very common request from web developers: programmatically showing a picker for controls like date etc. Spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#dom-input-showpicker Discussion: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/7319 WebKit bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234009 Best.

[webkit-dev] Request for position: Honor media HTML attribute for link icon
Hi webkit-dev, This is a request for WebKit's position on honoring the media HTML attribute for link[rel="icon"] as specified by the HTML spec. Spec: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#processing-the-media-attribute Discussion: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6408 Existing WebKit bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68861 Summary: The link element’s “media” attribute will be honored for link[rel="icon"] so that web developers can define multiple equally appropriate icons based on a media query (dark and light modes for instance). The last one that matches will be picked. Note that browsers don’t currently honor the media attribute for link[rel="icon"] even though the HTML specification says they should: "Icons could be auditory icons, visual icons, or other kinds of icons. If multiple icons are provided, the user agent must select the most appropriate icon according to the type, media, and sizes attributes." Best.
