RGB keyboard controller for System76 laptops

sys76-kb

This is app is still a work-in-progress. The goal is to create a robust tool for managing the RGB keyboard on System76 laptops. The only method System76 provides for changing the colors and brightness of the keyboard is via built-in keys. This app aims to give users greater control over the keyboard.

Only tested on the Darter, but it should work on other System76 models.

Requires sudo privs to modify the backlight files in /sys/class/leds/system76
