<title>Set screen brightness</title>
34
<p>You can change the brightness of your screen to save power or to make the
35
screen more readable in bright light. You can also have the screen dim
36
automatically when on battery power and have it turn off automatically when

<title>Set the brightness</title>

<item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
42
<item><p>Open <gui>Brightness and Lock</gui>.</p></item>
43
<item><p>Adjust the <gui>Brightness</gui> slider to a comfortable value.</p></item>
47
<p>Many laptop keyboards have special keys to adjust the brightness. These
48
have a picture that looks like the sun and are located on the function
49
keys at the top. Hold down the <key>Fn</key> key to use these keys.</p>
52
<p>Select <gui>Dim screen to save power</gui> to have the brightness
53
automatically lowered when you are on battery power. The backlight of your
54
screen can take a lot of power and significantly reduce how long your battery
55
will last before it needs to be recharged.</p>
57
<p>The screen will automatically turn off after you have not used it for a
58
while. This only affects the display, and does not turn off your computer.
59
You can adjust how long you have to be inactive with the <gui>Turn screen off
60
when inactive for</gui> option.</p>
