Tired of the display backlight suddenly dimming when you are looking at the screen - e.g. while thinking about the right word for an email? Wouldn't it be nice if your PocketPC knew when you needed the light and when not? SmartLight adds this automatic backlight feature to your PocketPC: Once you have opened an application, the backlight stays on - until you close or hide the application, switching off the light automatically.

SmartLight runs as a background application. It features a control screen that can be accessed by selecting SmartLight from the programs folder, or via a Task Manager. With SmartLight running, the backlight stays on as long as an application window is visible. Once the user returns to the Today Screen, the backlight will dim as normal (i.e. after the period selected in Backlight Settings). The light will also go out as normal after system notifications about new messages, calls, etc.

For maximum effect, we recommend setting the backlight time-out period to the minimum of 10 seconds. (Go to Settings > System Tab > Backlight)
