Interesting (just read the FAQ entry).

I've always thought my display was too dim (blue Mk2a) in the daylight. I can read it on a cloudy day, but not on a sunny day (even without being in direct sunlight).

I just checked to see that my dimmer option was at 100% and it was. BUT when I turned the knob to the right, it got a lot brighter! So I played with the setting for a bit... The progress bar and number always do the right thing, but the actual brightness doesn't.

As I move to the left from 100%, the display reads 90, 80, 70... just like you'd expect but the brightness seems to "zig-zag" its way down... some ticks make it brighter and some make it dimmer (e.g. 30% is notably brighter than 40%).

If I keep ticking slowly to the right past 100%, it alternates between medium and bright even though the number stays at 100%.

I'm running 2.0b11 with HiJack 300. Have there been any changes to the dimmer code since then?
