It's a great app. However it would be better for me if the "Keep display on" option could be activated just when clicking on the icon since the icon open a menu with only that option and "Open display settings" option that anyone could access in the Settings..
Simple, easy to use and works fine. Nice job!
I need the same for N800. Could be possible?

Works good, it does what is should do. Great app.
Beings some much needed functionality
Thanks Faheem.
You added value to our phones.
Useful applet. I can quickly make the screen never turn off, useful when reading something long. :)
simple and useful!
most useful applet ever
Thank you Faheem.
One more vote here to have this app as a standard.
For me, it is particularly useful the "Keep display on" option. I have my phone set up to block itself, but if I need it on for a while, let's say I'm looking at it to watch a timer (like Tickstill) I don't want to change my settings just for that.
Perfect
Good application
I wonder why Nokia did not include this must have util. in the new pr1.2 firmware. Great work.
Must have application. Simple and very useful!
Anyone help with why this won't install. It downloads as simple-brightness-applet.install, but PC Suite doesn't want to know it. I got my N900 yesterday, so be kind, please.
Very useful application
does what its says on the tin. Thank you and I'll also say that this should be standard. Nokia please listen to your users.
Good work, keep it up.
Can only adhere to what's expressed earlier: * simpel * easy to use * power saving * can't live without it
Big smiley to you Faheem, for the effort!
Great little app, should be a standard feature.
Great small and very efficient ,
Nice simple application, should be standard
Very useful on sunny days. :)
Pas mal et très pratique... Malheureusement pas configurable.
Can't live without this app!
A very useful and well-designed applet!
One of the best little helpers on my N900
Simple, useful, great! Thanks.
For saving battery is good but best is to keep the screen on, a must if you VNC to the phone.
Sweet app!
Very handy - great little app
very useful application, saves time and convenient.
very useful application, saves time and convenient.
Should be built-in :)
Very good, very useful, must-have.
Personally, I'd like another step between 4 and 5. I see that 4 is "64" and 5 is "255" which is a very big step and there are times that I'd really like to have a 4.5 step.
Great App
Great app! I use it all the time!
Does Exactly what it states. Perfect job. *****+
A must! Thanx.
Daily use, thanks!
Very useful day to day app. I use it regularly. Thanks !!
Does just what it says. This is a must-have addon until the stock software gets this feature included.
Very useful, use it all the time now.
Great! Thank you for adding one of the missing bits.
I felt something was missing when I upgraded from the N800 (still 3rd party app though).
Would be nice if you could have finer control (as in the N8x0)
Does what it says on the tin...very useful. And who give's it 1 star because the repos are down?? Ridiculous.
Ian, if you had bothered to read the announcements on maemo.org's front page, you would know that the repositories are down.
I'm trying to install this in App Manager, but it just keeps saying "Downloading 'Simple Brightness Applet' failed"
saving energy with only few clicks - perfect!
Good work, like it.
Thank you for fixing what should be default.
It is simple, it is working, it is useful. I like it!
Does what it needs to.
Great!
Does what it promises. Useful for those late dark nights or middays in sunlight.
great, i have it on the lowest level to save energie and if i need more brightness i can simply switch. thank you :)
any know how much batt life this app can save? is it significant? or is it more for aesthetics?
Does the N900 support the 12 or 16 levels of brightness of N8x0? If so, it would be nice see finer control.
Very simple and it works.
The applet does exactly what it claims. Useful if you frequently change brightness manually.
