Brighten a Dim MacBook Air Screen. The brightness keys on a MacBook Air are in the same position as the MacBook Pro. See the keys circled in yellow here on an 11 inch MacBook Air: The top row of keys, often called function keys, is particularly narrow on the MacBook Air. They’re even smaller than on the MacBook Pro, which can make them hard. This Android app can be used to dim the lights on tablets and phones. It can help to save the phone’s battery by disabling the AMOLED screen and the button’s backlight. Other options like silent the mode when the app is started, scheduling, toggling the app according to outside brightness, variable opacity, etc. Is also available on this app.
If you find the minimum brightness still too bright for night-time reading, Apple has finally added a screen filter in iOS 8. Typically Android offered a way to reduce the minimum brightness via apps when the screen was still too bright for nighttime reading even when set to zero but now you can enable this in iOS:
- Go to Settings → General → Accessibility → Zoom.
- Enable Zoom.
- Tap 3 fingers on the screen to bring up zoom options.
- Choose filter: low light.
- Go back to Settings → General → Accessibility → Zoom and change the zoom region to full screen.
- Turn Zoom off.
- Go to Settings → General → Accessibility → Accessibility Shortcut and set it to Zoom.
Now when you push your home button 3 times quickly it will dim the entire screen for night-time reading.
