sandman Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Easily set a "dimmer" amount for your screen. Useful for people who don't want such a bright laptop at night without a built-in dimmer function.Based off my TransIT app.Increase/decrease dim by pressing NumPad+ or NumPad- respectively. Press NumPad* to set a custom amount.Source @ Pastebin (?)

Generator Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 One thing is you can't click anything on desktop, at least not on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice.Incase you didn't understand, you cannot click any desktop icon because the window masked over it. Of course you can click programs because the window is beneath.

JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) No, you did not understand, I can click any icon or program. Even if the dimmer is set. Edited November 11, 2007 by JustinReno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) I'm not hijacking. Whats a sh** list? Why do you keep targeting me when I come close to hijacking? And talk to Generator, he started it first, thats prove you have been targeting me. And I'm not trying to be banned here, I was proving a point to Generator, whats wrong with that?

JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I got to click a couple, after around 5 minutes it stopped, so maybe my computer is slow or something. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Oops... I wrote this in a hurry. I'll have to make some way for it to accept clicks below. @Justin: Please calm your volatile temper.. it has poisoned two threads already.

jvanegmond Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) Beside the technical issues that this has, most laptops where dimmers are common to save energy do not have a numpad and thus can not easily use the numpad to control this. I also do not think that making a screen black, makes it consume less energy. Also, I think you should set the background color of the window to black so if you set the transparency near 255, it does not become obvious this is just a window, and not a real dimmer.

And oops... I never thought about that.

jvanegmond Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 GUISetBkColor($win, 0x000000); Line 16 then it's probably just my computer. It was grey before, but now it is blue. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
