rschultz101 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 laptop/notebook/monitor brightness adjust change for LCD it's called Shades desktop usually, can't adjust brightness laptop/notebook some can not use function keys to do so http://www.charcoaldesign.co.uk/shades http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23370 description Shades is a utility for controlling the brightness of your screen. It runs in the background providing easy control over the brightness of your display via a slick Mac-like interface, with greater dynamic range and finer granularity than the built-in controls. Unlike other solutions, Shades works by obscuring your screen with a darkened overlay. It doesn't change your display settings and won't screw up your colour profile. It also means you won't lose your cursor! download http://www.charcoaldesign.co.uk/shades/download/intel please donate to the developer !! don't forget ! at least enough for a cup of coffee or a beer ! donations@charcoaldesign.co.uk please make sticky!

cyclonefr Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It's useless because it still eats battery anyway, even when you low down your brightness...

rschultz101 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 can you explaine ? more detail ? one way to adjust the brightness on laptop, is at boot stage, adjust the screen brightness, since the funtion keys still work . so there is a difference in battery life, when only adjusting it with shades ? thought, the processor uses most of the battery power, and if the screen is dimmed, it uses less ? It's useless because it still eats battery anyway, even when you low down your brightness...

cyclonefr Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Useless means what useless means lol Ok i repeat again : Shades won't save you ANY battery life, it's just for cosmetic use.
