I can see one potential flaw with this product

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: depeche Wednesday, December 27 2006 @ 06:21 PM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Good idea and nice interface, but in the interest of burn-in, perhaps the on-screen slider could randomly move around the screen every few seconds? If this feature could be added, I'll happily replace Brightness Control which was my staple screen-dimmer for years.

I can see one potential flaw with this product - Charcoal Design

The slider can be hidden when in the background, or set to fade out when the mouse is not moved. Alternatively you can hide the slider altogether and just use the menu icon control. (These options can be found in the preferences)


I would have thought that these options were sufficient to eliminate pixel burn. If not, perhaps you would like to submit a feature request via the web site that explains your needs in more detail?

My apologies! I was using the 1.1.2 of Shades which doesn't have this feature. Thank you for pointing that out. Just got rid of Brightness Control too :)
