Shows the current monitor brightness level and adjusts it via scroll wheel. By default, the widget hides itself when no controllable monitor is found. Click opens the display tab in the control center.

When show_when_unavailable is enabled and brightness control is unavailable, the percentage is hidden and scrolling has no effect.
