Description

Is your minimum screen brightness still toobright? Dim your screen below what your device normally permits forcomfortable use in darker environments, reading in bed, amateurastronomy, etc.!

No root required. (But there is an experimental root optionwhich makes things even darker on some devices, e.g., the Nexus7.)

Save your five favorite brightness and contrast settings as apreset, and get it back by touching a single button or by aLauncher shortcut (Screen Dim also provides a Launcher shortcut tocycle through the presets, and another Launcher shortcut to disableit).

ScreenDim also creates a notification item in your status bar soyou can easily go back to it to adjust settings.

ScreenDim is the first dimmer that can both adjust backlightbrightness below what the system normally permits on many LCDdevices and dim the contrast. Some dimmers only filter and lowerthe contrast, which keeps the black areas unchanged and glowinggray on LCD devices when in the dark and doesn't save battery life(and at least one does it in a way that slows down 2D screenperformance by about 30% in my testing). Many other dimmers onlychange the backlight within the range normally allowed by theOS.

This is a three day trial. After three days, ScreenDimfunctionality will be disabled and to continue using you'll need tobuy Screen Dim Full.

If you have any problems with ScreenDim, email [email protected] before leavingpoor feedback. There is a lot of variation in how different deviceshandle screen brightness, and I may be able to adjust ScreenDim towork better for you.

Note 1: On OLED devices, there is no backlight, so alladjustment is contrast-adjustment.

Note 2: If you set ScreenDim too dark for you to see the screen,you can recover by adjusting brightness with the volume buttonswhile in ScreenDim, or by tapping where the brightness adjustshould be on the screen if you don't have volume buttons, or byrebooting your device (on many devices this is done by holding thepower button for up to ten seconds to turn the device off and thenby turning on the device).
