Description Michael McPartland 2009-08-25 13:01:55 UTC
Currently the autodim feature is to dimmed during daylight hours and when undimmed is not bright enough. I would like to ask that a settings be made to adjust the brightness levels of the autodim feature in the following ways for a better user experience. 

- Allow a setting to determine how dim the screen will get as well as how bright it will be when undimmed

- Allow a way to change the light sensitivity of the autodim feature so during the day in moderately lit rooms it wont darken.

Current version that I am experiencing this autodim feature is; 

7.4.0 r7259

Weldon: is this part of the spec? if not it should be.  I have seen other (boom/SP) users request the same feature on the forums.

The current "spec" for settings menu is here:

(see brightness about halfway down)

the particular setting he's talking about is not in the spec, but by adjusting the auto-sensitivity you should get a similar effect.

There is no method for adjusting the auto-sensitivity (in the GUI)

If you have "auto brightness" switched on, the intention is that adjusting the brightness control will actually change the sensitivity/"relative" brightness.  Switching "auto brightness" to "off" will revert back to the current standard brightness setting.

In other words, design is not blocking this.  It's simply a question of when an engineer gets time to build it..

moving current p2 bugs to p3 to make room for moving p1.5 bugs to p2
Comment 7 Pat Ransil 2009-10-23 05:11:23 UTC
Administrative move of 7.5 bugs. All P2, P3, P4 being downgraded one level. Will then split P1s.
