 | `tooltip` | false | Display brightness level in a tooltip when the mouse cursor hovers the widget |
 | `percentage` | false | Display a '%' character after the brightness level |
+| `rmb_set_max` | false | Right mouse click sets the brightness level to maximum |
 
 _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).
