<title>Set screen brightness</title>
26
<p>You can change the brightness of your screen to save power or
27
make the screen more readable in bright light. You can also have
28
the screen dim automatically when on battery power and have it
29
turn off automatically when not in use.</p>

<title>Set the brightness</title>
33
<item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>

<item><p>Select <gui>Screen</gui>.</p></item>

<item><p>Adjust the <gui>Brightness</gui> slider to a comfortable value.</p>
36
<p>Many laptop keyboards have special keys on the keyboard to adjust the brightness.
37
These have a picture of what looks like the Sun and are usually located on the <key>F8</key> and <key>F9</key> keys. Hold
38
down the <key>Fn</key> key to use these keys.</p></item>
41
<p>Select <gui>Dim screen to save power</gui> to have the brightness
42
automatically lowered when you're on battery power. The backlight of
43
your screen can take a lot of power and significantly reduce how
44
long your battery will last before it needs to be recharged.</p>
46
<p>The screen will automatically turn off after you haven't used it
47
for a while. This only affects the display, and doesn't turn off
48
your computer. You can adjust how long you have to be inactive
49
with the <gui>Turn off after</gui> drop-down list.</p>
