Brightness Slider for Mac Description

With Brightness Slider you can adjust screen brightness from the menubar, just like the sound menu provided by Apple, and with improvedcontrol over the dimming process.Using a keyboard with no brightness keys? Tired of low brightnesslevels which are still too bright? Brightness Slider gives you totalcontrol over your screen's brightness settings, allowing inparticular for a really smooth transition between low light and totaldarkness.Features:- Screen brightness level adjustment right from the menu bar- Dimming control at low brightness levels- Arrow key function with active Brightness Slider menu- Custom hotkeys for lowering and raising brightness levels- Start at login option available in the preferencesHow Brightness Slider works:Brightness Slider darkens your display by combining two separatemethods. Method A adjusts the real backlight intensity of yourdisplay and method B creates a semi-transparent black veil aboveeverything else. Why the complexity? Well, when dimming a display,the final jump down to no backlight at all is very large, especiallyin a darkened room. To provide more control over the dimming process,the top-half of the slider controls the backlight intensity from 1down to 0.1 (method A). Then, the bottom-half controls the opacity ofthe semi-transparent veil, whilst keeping the backlight at 0.1(method B). When the slider is at zero, the backlight is turned off.The result is that the final jump now has several intermediate steps,which means the perceived brightness (the combined result of bothmethods) is that much more adjustable.One last thing:There are displays where Brightness Slider cannot control backlightintensity. However, it can still perceptually dim the screen bycontrolling the opacity of the semi-transparent veil (which can becreated on any display).Any comments or suggestions, don't hesitate: act.prods@gmail.com
