Does anyone know if the ambient light sensor of the Unibodies can be turned off? It's a nifty feature and all but I'm starting to be really irritated with it. I mean just moving my head or tilting the LCD in different directions causes the display to dim/brighten. I just wanna do the LCD brightness adjustments manually. Anyone else annoyed by this feature or is it just me?
Well, you could turn it off under System Preferences=>Display, then uncheck Automatically adjust.... I got annoyed too.
Wow, it's that simple. I feel really stupid haha.. . Thanks man! I guess the only remaining question is that if the other muggers don't like this feature as well .
To all PowerBook and MacBook users, if you don't wanna turn off the backlit keyboard totally? There's an app that can control it. Lab Tick and it's free.
It does irritate me sometimes. Especially in places when the light is behind me. A simple movement of my head and the monitor adjusts it's brightness. Gotta hand it to Apple though for integrating such a responsive ambient light sensor. Even the iPhone takes a few seconds to adapt to ambient light. Thanks! Now I know how to turn it off.
yeah it's sometimes weird why the brightness increases with just a shadow cast over the sensor/Mac. Downloaded the app! thanks!
