This app works great, but is there a way to increase the brightness for over 100%? If I set my display manually to full brightness, the app shows 255%, but the moment I move the slider, the screen goes dimmer and I can't increase it above 100%.

With an app called Brightness Menulet, I'm able to set the monitor to 255 (full brightness), but it lacks all the features.
