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..

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.

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.

For saving battery is good but best is to keep the screen on, a must if you VNC to the phone.

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.

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 the N900 support the 12 or 16 levels of brightness of N8x0? If so, it would be nice see finer control.

The applet does exactly what it claims. Useful if you frequently change brightness manually.
