Was just wishing for this feature as well — though rather than "two finger swipe" I think it's more accurate to say "on scroll", so mousewheels are also included in the phrasing
Makes sense that this indicator matches behaviour of the sound indicator, which changes the sound level on scrolling on the icon.
Is it the intended behavior for touchpad users that brightness decreases when you swipe up and increases when you swipe down?
When using a mouse, brightness increases when scrolling up and vice versa (as expected) so it seems weird that it's the opposite when using a touchpad.
@TKivai, From what I quickly tested, the intended behavior is for brightness to increase on scroll up and decrease on scroll down.
Now, whether scroll up corresponds to swiping up or down depends on the "natural scrolling" option from touchpad settings. The brightness indicator respects this setting
