<title>Set screen brightness</title>
28
<p>You can change the brightness of your screen to save power or
29
make the screen more readable in bright light. You can also have
30
the screen dim automatically when on battery power and have it
31
turn off automatically when not in use.</p>
34
<title>Set the brightness</title>
35
<item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
36
<item><p>Select <gui>Screen</gui>.</p></item>
37
<item><p>Adjust the <gui>Brightness</gui> slider to a comfortable value.</p>
38
<p>Many laptop keyboards have special keys on the keyboard to adjust the brightness.
39
These are usually located on the <key>F8</key> and <key>F9</key> keys. Hold
40
down the <key>Fn</key> key to use these keys.</p></item>
43
<p>Select <gui>Dim screen to save power</gui> to have the brightness
44
automatically lowered when you're on battery power. The backlight of
45
your screen can take a lot of power and significantly reduce how
46
long your battery will last before it needs to be recharged.</p>
48
<p>The screen will automatically turn off after you haven't used it
49
for a while. This only affects the display, and doesn't turn off
50
your computer. You can adjust how long you have to be inactive
51
with the <gui>Turn off after</gui> drop-down list.</p>
