48
<p>You can change the brightness of your screen to save power or to make the
49
screen more readable in bright light. <!--You can also have the screen dim
50
automatically when on battery power and have it turn off automatically when
54
<title>Set the brightness</title>
56
<p>Open the <app>Settings</app> from the <gui>Activities</gui>
60
<p>Open <gui style="tab">Power</gui> settings.</p>
63
<p>Adjust the <gui>Screen brightness</gui> slider to the value that
64
you want to use. The change should take effect immediately.</p>
69
<p>Many laptop keyboards have special keys to adjust the brightness. These
70
often have a picture that looks like the sun. Hold down the <key>Fn</key>
71
key to use these keys.</p>
74
<!-- <p>Select <gui>Dim screen to save power</gui> to have the brightness
75
automatically lowered when you are on battery power. The backlight of your
76
screen can take a lot of power and significantly reduce how long your battery
77
will last before it needs to be recharged.</p>-->
79
<p>To save power, you can set your screen to dim automatically if you have
80
not used your computer for a while.</p>
83
<title>Dim screen automatically when inactive</title>
85
<p>Open the <app>Settings</app> from the <gui>Activities</gui>
89
<p>Open <gui style="tab">Power</gui> settings.</p>
92
<p>Toggle <gui>Dim screen when inactive</gui> to the <gui>On</gui>
97
<p>The screen will automatically turn off after you have not used it for a
98
while. This only affects the display, and does not turn off your computer.
99
You can adjust how long you have to be inactive in the <gui>Blank
100
screen</gui> drop down list.</p>
