-| `inc_brightness_cmd` | `light -A 5` | Increase brightness |
-| `dec_brightness_cmd` | `light -U 5`| Decrease brightness |
+| `type`| `arc` | The widget type. Could be `arc` or `icon_and_text` |

+_Note:_ If brightness is controlled only by the widget (either by a mouse, or by a shortcut, then the `timeout` could be quite big, as there is no reason to synchronize the brightness level).
 
 ## Installation
 
-First you need to get the current brightness level. There are two options:
+To choose the right `program` argument, first you need to check which of them works better for you. 
 
- - using `xbacklight` command (depending on your video card (I guess) it may or may not work)
+ - using `xbacklight`:
  
-    To check if it works install xbackligth and check if it works:
+    Install (on Ubuntu it's available in the apt repository) it and check if it works by running:
  
     ```bash
-    sudo apt-get install xbacklight
     xbacklight -get
     ```
 
-    If there is no output it means that it doesn't work, but there is a second option:
+    If there is no output it means that it doesn't work, you can either try to fix it, or try to use `light`.
 
  - using `light` command

-# Brightness widget
-
-This widget represents current brightness level: ![Brightness widget](./br-wid-1.png)
-
-## Customization
-
-It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
-
-| Name | Default | Description |
-|---|---|---|
-| `get_brightness_cmd` | `light -G` | Get current screen brightness |
-| `inc_brightness_cmd` | `light -A 5` | Increase brightness |
-| `dec_brightness_cmd` | `light -U 5`| Decrease brightness |
-| `color` | `beautiful.fg_color` | Color of the arc |
-| `bg_color` | `#ffffff11` | Color of the arc's background |
-| `path_to_icon` | `/usr/share/icons/Arc/status/symbolic/display-brightness-symbolic.svg` | Path to the icon |
-| `timeout` | 1 | How often in seconds the widget refreshes |
-
-### Example:
-
-```lua
-brightnessarc_widget({
-    get_brightness_cmd = 'xbacklight -get',
-    inc_brightness_cmd = 'xbacklight -inc 5',
-    dec_brightness_cmd = 'xbacklight -dec 5'
-    color = '/usr/share/icons/Arc/status/symbolic/brightness-display-symbolic.svg'
-})
-```
-
-
-## Installation
-
-First you need to get the current brightness level. There are two options:
-
- - using `xbacklight` command (depending on your video card (I guess) it may or may not work)
- 
-    To check if it works install xbackligth and check if it works:
- 
-    ```bash
-    sudo apt-get install xbacklight
-    xbacklight -get
-    ```
-
-    If there is no output it means that it doesn't work, but there is a second option:
-
- - using `light` command
- 
-    Install it from this git repo: [github.com/haikarainen/light](https://github.com/haikarainen/light) and check if it works but running
-
-    ```bash
-    git clone https://github.com/haikarainen/light.git && \
-    cd ./light && \
-    sudo make && sudo make install \
-    light -G
-    49.18
-    ```
-
-Then clone this repo under **~/.config/awesome/**:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets.git ~/.config/awesome/awesome-wm-widgets
-```
-
-Require widget at the beginning of **rc.lua**:
-
-```lua
-local brightnessarc_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.brightnessarc-widget.brightnessarc")
-```
-
-Add widget to the tasklist:
-
-```lua
-s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
-    { -- Right widgets
-        layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
-        ...
-        -- default
-        brightnessarc_widget(),
-        -- or customized
-        brightnessarc_widget({
-          get_brightness_cmd = 'xbacklight -get',
-          inc_brightness_cmd = 'xbacklight -inc 5',
-          dec_brightness_cmd = 'xbacklight -dec 5'
-        })      
-    }
-        ...
-```
-
-## Controls
-
-In order to change brightness by shortcuts you can add them to the `globalkeys` table in the **rc.lua**:
-
-```lua
-awful.key({ modkey         }, ";", function () awful.spawn("light -A 5") end, {description = "increase brightness", group = "custom"}),
-awful.key({ modkey, "Shift"}, ";", function () awful.spawn("light -U 5") end, {description = "decrease brightness", group = "custom"}),
-```
-On laptop you can use `XF86MonBrightnessUp` and `XF86MonBrightnessDown` keys.
