Brightside

: This article is about the desktop reactivity software. For the UK electoral ward, see Shiregreen and Brightside .

Brightside adds actions which are activated when the cursor (computers) is moved to the corners or edges of a GNOME desktop. It was created to add functionality which the designer perceived as lacking from Metacity and XScreensaver. As of June 2005, Brightside is not an official component of the GNOME desktop environment.

At present, the only action available at screen edges is edge flipping (moving to another virtual screen by hitting the edge of the desktop), which was omitted from Metacity.

At corners, the avaliable actions are:

Fade out volume

Prevent screensaver starting

Start screensaver and lock screen

Enter VESA Display Power Management Signaling standby mode

Enter DPMS suspend mode

Enter DPMS off mode

Dim screen backlight

Custom action
