Is there a way, via a registry edit perhaps, to make the screen on my Samsung Focus dimmer than the default setting when Auto Brightness is turned off and the screen brightness is set to Low? I drive a tractor-trailer for a living and use my Focus as a back-up to my dedicated truck GPS system for turn-by-turn directions. I have it in a dashboard mount at the top of my truck's dash, and I find it distractingly bright at night, even when the brightness is set to low. I previously had an HD7s and the low setting on that device was perfect! I'd like to make the Focus act the same, if possible (I know they're two different screen technologies).

My Focus is ChevronWP7 unlocked and interop-unlocked, and I've had no trouble installing XAP's and editing the registry to customize things. If anyone knows of a setting in the registry that controls screen brightness I could change, I'd really appreciate the info!

Thanks,

Dennis
