This GNOME extension adds controlls to Quicksettings, allowing brightness change for second screen of Asus ZenBook Duo.
This is a fork of mjollnir14/gnome-shell-extension-zenbook-duo and lunaneff/gnome-shell-extension-zenbook-duo, since both repositories seem to be abandoned.

This extension will add a second brightness slider to Quicksettings (where your volume/wifi/... toggles are) to control Screenpad brightness. It will also add functionality to some of your Asus hardware keys like Toggle-Screenpad and MyAsus key.
It will not link the brightness hardware keys to Screenpad display (as of now).
To test if asus-wmi-screenpad dependency is working, run the following in a terminal
echo 255 > '/sys/class/leds/asus::screenpad/brightness'
This should have set screenpad brightness to max (or less if you replace 255 by lower value). If this is not working, check the kernel module setup of asus-wmi-screenpad.
