Thank you for downloading AutoBacklight application.
AutoBacklight is small application that allows to adjust backlight intensity according to the current time. It helps to improve display readibility and optimize power consumption. It means that your PDA will run longer without recharging.
First release to public.

This program is based on notification manager and it requires PalmOS 4.x or better.
It does not make sense to run it on black & white (grayscale) models because they cannot
control level of backlight. Application was tested on several PalmOS 5.x devices from PalmOne.

Application is provided as shareware - you can use it for 30 days for evaluation.
If you would continue to use it you will have to register it. Unregistered version
has some minor limitations - it allows only one profile.

Simply extract contents of the ZIP file and install AutoBacklight.prc file using
Quick Install tool. If you desktop is configured properly you just need to double click
on that PRC file and installer tool is launched automatically. Application will be
installed after the next hotsync into System category. Please see
Starting section for more details about configuration.

You can create profile for every day of week. But you can also decide to skip some days
and use profile from previous day (like using same profile Saturday profile also on Sunday).
You can set both contract and brightness individually -
however current PDAs controls only brightness. Contrast adjustment could be used in future models.
