Ahoy oh wise Ubuntu users. I'm interested in writing a script to adjust the brightness of my screen when I scroll my mouse-wheel over the battery icon in the notification area. To make myself clear, you know how when you scroll your mouse wheel while hovering over the volume icon in the notification area (top panel for me), the volume is reduced or increased? Well, I'd like functionality like that for brightness when I hover over the battery (power management) icon.
I have some programming knowledge, but I'm in need of some help.
Is this kind of thing even possible?
And if so, how I go about writing such a programme?
What kind of script should I create?
How do I invoke it by scrolling the mouse-button over the battery icon?
Any help would be much appreciated.
