@Wikiwide, thanks I tried your suggestion but nothing happen.

@TiagoTiago, Thanks... we can to a similar possible answer.

So after playing with more combinations I came up with the following:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=LowBrite
Exec=sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness'
Icon=

YES, this one's working! Now the only problem is that it takes a longtime before a blank window with the script title name on it goes away. Though the light level changes almost instantly. Any ideas?
