Is it possible to implement a slider to control the internal macbook screen brightness in the app as well?

Describe the solution you'd like

I've seen that you can add multiple external screens in the app to control them in the menu bar popup. It would be cool to also have an option there to control the internal screen brightness.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now I just use the keyboard to adjust the macbooks internal screen brightness, but I've issues with that. Sometimes the shortcuts keys just adjust the external and sometimes just the internal screen brightness. I have noticed, that it depends on where you're mouse focus was at the last time.

Anything else?

The app should already control the internal screen brightness (it is usually under Color LCD). Everything should work the same way as with the external displays.
