Spb Pocket Plus - Brightness Control on X50

jonnyquest · 01-12-05, 08:32 PM

I'm waiting for Spb to fix a bug that will correct the today plug-in for screen brightness control. They acknowledge that it doesn't work on the X50 yet, but are taking their sweet time with updates (unlike SPSH Software who are tremendous!).

Can anyone recommend another product that will allow me to control screen brightness from the today screen?

Oh, come on! Did this question stump the experts????

You may have already found a solution to this problem but with the brightness control, you can remove the Spd icon and instead link to the brightness control setting directly by creating a custom link. This will give you direct access to the brightness settings and the power set up.

Just install the latest version 2.5 and that should do the trick! Enjoy.

If that doesn't work -- Just add a custom file to Pocket Plus and browse to thw Windows directory and choose "Backlight.exe."

Great News! Thanks for the heads up, I've been waiting for that update.
Much appreciated.

Please let me know if 2.5 works. I have 2.2 and the brightness feature doesn't work.

Also, how do you get the upgrade? Do you just download and install the latest version and use the original registration key? Thanks.
