Brightness controls - a non-standard Pick of the Week
Authored by: soumya.ray on Oct 16, '07 04:39:54PM

How do these programs work? I notice that the default OS X brightness slider controls brightness independently of these programs, and (in Shades' case) the mouse cursor and program menu icon retain their brightness. So these programs must not be changing brightness at the hardware level, unlike the default OS X slider (I *think*). If this is the case, is there any power savings? Is there any performance overhead? questions questions!
