paQ Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yesterday I connected the Illum wire to the car's headlamp switch. It does work, for I can now set a screen brightness for both with and without headlamps on. However, I can't find a way to dim the iluminated buttons Cán this be done at all? I find the buttons too bright driving in the dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paQ Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 No oh Time for a hack then! When one can change the buittons to about any color he wants, the same must go for how bright it lights up... right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paQ Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'm not a devver, but I'm think it should be feasible somewhere in that coloor menu of the buttons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 what color are you using? You can try making a custom color and lowering the values of each color. That's how I dimmed mine, but it won't alternate between bright and dim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Try was CMIYK suggested, otherwise you're looking at hardware modifications to reduce the voltage the LEDs are seeing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
