I find the newt screen hard to read without backlight in anything but
bright light. However, bright sunlight also tends to warm it up, and
then the screen darkens up.
Then I discovered that you can origin of the Contrast scale in Extras:
- set the slider to where you want the new center to be
- double-tap on the word "Contrast"
- this is not undoable: it adds some code that's invoked every time
you adjust the contrast. While you can put the origin to any position,
you can't remove the code (easily).
This works on MP2k with the latest patch (717260) from Apple:
"Adjusting the contrast
* You can now recenter the constrast slider by setting a different
middle
point. This allows you to refine the standard contrast range. For
example,
the factory preset contrast slider range goes from light gray to
dark gray.
You might want the contrast range to go from light gray to medium
gray; to
do this, you'd set the middle point slightly towards the lighter end
of the
slider.
To recenter the contrast slider, follow these steps:
1. Tap Extras to open the Extras Drawer.
2. Tap the contrast slider to move the diamond to the desired middle
point.
3. Double tap the word "Contrast" below the slider.
4. When the message appears asking if you want to center the slider,
tap Yes.
The diamond on the slider returns to the middle. The middle point of
the
contrast slider is now at the desired contrast setting.
Note: After recentering, you may notice a lightening of the screen
after
lifting the stylus off the contrast slider. Tap the screen again or
wait 30
seconds and the screen will adjust back to the desired setting."
I think it should be in the FAQ.
