Adjust screen brightness while screensaver is active
Nov 13, '03 10:39:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
You can use your F1 and F2 keys to adjust the brightness of the screen while your screen saver is running and it will not interrupt the screen saver. Tested on Panther on a 12" PowerBook, RevA.

Adjust screen brightness while screensaver is active
I can confirm this on a 1.33MHZ 17in powerbook in Panther 10.3.1
Adjust screen brightness while screensaver is active
Also works on 15" PowerBook (2003) with 10.2.7, and a MDD G4 PowerMac with 10.2.6 -- use the F14 and F15 keys for the latter.

F14 and F15 will adjust the brightness on non-laptop macs
Adjust screen brightness while screensaver is active
Although F14 and F15 do adjust brightness on the Desktop Macs (such as my Dual G5), it does drop out of the screen saver mode while attempting to make adjustments -- so the Hint apparently only applies to PowerBooks and probably the iBooks.

Doesn't "drop out" with a year-old MDD dual G4 -- running 10.2.6 -- as I noted above. Maybe an issue with the newer keyboards Apple is shipping? Or is it possible that you are using Panther and assigned F14 and/or F15 to some other actions? |
