I find the screen is too bright in dark areas even when set to the lowest setting. Is there anyway to lower it even more? I dont like how its 50% brightness or 0% brightness.

are there any 3rd party programs that have more control over the backlight?

http://www.omegaone.com/pocketpc/default.htm is one of the best software companies in my opinion. Here is some software which allows you to fine tune screen brightness http://www.omegaone.com/batterypack/pro/default.htm download a trial and install it and you then have to go into Start - Settings - Today - Items (tab at bottom) - Then tap Battery bar - Then select Customize - Select Brightness from one of the drop-down menus so you can have it adjusted on the home screen. I have the previous version and I find it great. If you have any problems let me know.

nice program, but I cant seem to get it to control the brightness. The switch keeps snapping back to the left most side. Maybe its not compatible with Blue Angels?

WM2003se

I added rom and radio info to my sig :)

I just did a hard reset to make sure there wasnt any programs conflicting but that didnt fix it

It is just that I have upgraded my Blueangel to Tu-Ma 1.3 (WM5) and it allows you to change the brightness in 10% increments. So a thought is that you might want to upgrade yours. Here is the link explaining how to do it http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1 .3-TuMa
Will keep a look out for screen brightness changing programs but at the moment a upgrade is all i can suggest.

WM5 natively allows you to do that? Or do you need battery pack pro?

Ive seriously considered upgrading but am worried about incompatibilities with alot of the programs Im using. Especially morphgear and Fpsce.

Yes it natively allows you to do that. About compatibility I have run programs designed for Windows Mobile 2002 with no problems but I know that some software just isn't compatible. So it depends on how much you use those programs that aren't compatible with WM5 whether it is worth upgrading.
