Don't know if this has been suggested before, or if this is possible, but I though a two stage, or secondary dim, would be useful.
I have an e200 with the backlight set at 20s. After the timeout, the lcd is totally off and there is no way to see that the e200 is working, other then pressing one of the keys.
What if there was a secondary setting that would kick in after the first one. So after the primary backlight setting time, a secondary backlight setting (with its own brightness level and timeout) would kick in. For example, the primary setting is a brightness level of 6 with a 20s timout. The secondary setting could have a brightness level of 1 with a much longer timeout. That way, there would be *some* visible sign that the device is working (albeit very dim).
The real question is the effect on battery runtime. If the secondary setting is costly from a power perspective, perhaps it is of no real benefit.
What do folks think?
