Default Possible to leave screen brightness on when charging?

When in the car, I would like my screen to stay on when charging.
I found a way to do this by going to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay Awake

However the screen may stay on, but it still dims after X minutes (depending on the Time-out settings) so i cant see a thing on my phone during daytime.

I can ofcourse set the time-out to 30 minutes, but i dont want my screen to stay on full brightness for 30 mins when its NOT charging!

Anyone got an idea?

Thanks!

Setting profiles mate. You can set different profiles for when it is charging, including keeping the screen on, and when you unplug it, it goes back to normal. I've been using it for quite a while and it works spot on

Cheers

Sorry I'm a bit of a Droid newb. On my old 6,5 winmo there was a slider for brightness on battery and brightness on charge.

Is this profile setting stashed within the settings somewhere or is it an app?

Thanks for your help

Another way of doing this is to activate car dock mode when you're in the car. There are some apps that allow you to manually activate various dock modes, and I think when in car dock mode the screen stays on all the time at full brightness.

The app I used is called 'dock simulator' or something like that on the market, and it's free.
