Minimum brightness should be darker [duplicate]
asked 2013-12-28 02:14:16 +0200
Something that annoys me a lot is using a phone with a bright display when in darkness. I wish that the brightness setting on the Jolla would have a lower minimum value. Possibly have a checkbox to go even darker (call it "night mode" or something if you wish) if it isn't "user friendly" enough to just make the slider cover a larger range of values.

will set to minimum brightness. It is dimmer than the currently adjustable dimming. Still readable when no-other lights around.

Being able to go all the way down to 1 via the GUI would be nice.This looks like a duplicate of this question. Also, I think it should be possible to change (lower) color temperature, as lower color temperature (redder screen) makes it way more comfortable to view screens in dark conditions.
