Change brightness for all statuses
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:30:48 UTC
I would like an option to link the three power status modes to always have the same brightness. I don't ever want different brightness levels for playing, idle, and off. Whenever I change brightness I want it changed for all states. In other words, I want the brightness to stay where I set it regardless of which state the player is in. If I turn the display off in "playing" mode, I do not want it to come back on when it is switched to "idle" or "off" mode (as it does now). This has been an issue since the manual/automatic option was removed from display settings. Also the "Power On Brightness" context help is wrong since the change was made to remove the automatic/manual setting. The help blurb still refers to an automatic setting.
ie: return the "adjust brightness automatically" setting, which you would turn off so that brightness never changes unless triggered by the IR?
>>ie: return the "adjust brightness automatically" setting, which you would turn off so that brightness never changes unless triggered by the IR?<< Yeah, I guess that is a different way of saying it. ;-) I never fully understood that option when it was there, but I know I used to keep it set to manual, and since it was removed the change in brightness when switching modes is frustrating, especially when using sleep timer.
Will keep an eye on this for a future release. Vote early and often!
