Excellent! Helps me keep my status bar on one line. This should be standard.
Essential app.
Hi there!
Really loving it, great work, guys, but unfortunately the "Settings now persist across reboots" change You mentioned for version 0.9 does not seem to work for me as far as the screen brightness is concerned. Volume keeps its setting just fine, but the brightness goes back to an about 60% level each time I start the device. Which, if all goes well, is just once a day, of course, but still.
Is it just me or have You already noticed this Yourselves (and are eventually already working on a fix)?
Again - thanks so much for all Your work (and the ingenious idea to begin with)!
Real place economy :) I wonder why I waited so long to install it.
@Uwe That's what previous versions have always done and that's what this version does still, we just offer the user the ability to override it (for whatever reason, it was requested). :)
@Fabrice This, unfortunately, is completely out of our control. It's part of dsme and Nokia doesn't offer the option to disable the progressive dimming and brightening.
Excellent!
Don't forget to remove the default Volume & Backlight icons from the panel, moving this much more efficient one in their place! :)
Nice touch with LCARS too.
Thank you Ryan & Adam! :))
Very Good: Only one icon for volume and backlight intensity Not so good: The option to reduce backlight volume on n800's to zero what seems to be bad. there is only a hint not to do that. better would be a device detection routine in the software :)
Very handy application! It works pretty well on my N800. IMHO The backlight scroller is not enough reactive: after moving it, the backlight may take some time to reach the correct luminosity level.
Excellent application! My tablet is now much more usable as the default 'low' backlight was too bright for night reading. Also combines light & sound on oone icon, so is tidier on the status bar. Nokia should replace their own one with this.
