Script for maintaining brightness on Lenovo G405

-
I observed that the this AMD A4 powered laptop has two backlight classes names idepad and radeon-bl0. Pressing the brightness keys changes brightness values in idepad class while values in radeon-bl0 needs to be changed.
So I wrote a script which will keep the two files in sync and help me get the brightness working.

syncBrightness.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Script to sync brightness from sys/classes/idepad to /sys/classes/radeon-bl0
# Task: run in a loop executed every second,  modify radeon  brightness acccording to ideapad brightness
# ideapad brightness from 1 to 16 in steps of 1;
# Radeon brightness 1 to 255 in steps of 1;
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
IBRIGHTNESS=`cat /sys/class/backlight/ideapad/brightness`
if [ $IBRIGHTNESS -le 1 ]
then
IBRIGHTNESS=1
fi
echo "Ideapad Brightness: $IBRIGHTNESS"
let RBRIGHTNESS=$IBRIGHTNESS*16-1
echo "Radeon Brightness to be set: $RBRIGHTNESS"
echo $RBRIGHTNESS>/sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness
sleep 1
done

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");
