Now at Version 1.20

The new version fixes a number of bugs:

• ScreenDimmer's new Preference ScreenApps with disabled idleTimer that are set in ScreenDimmer to be dimmed, will no longer lock 

• ScreenDimmer will no longer dim when the battery is fully charged and set not to dim when the iPhone is charging or on power

This update introduces a welcome, new feature; when ScreenDimmer is set to turn off the Back-Light, it will first wait for a second timer interval to pass before doing so. This allows the iPhone to have two levels of dimming if the user desires.

I find this very useful at night time, as I put my iPhone in a dock besides my bed. With this new setting I can leave the phone unlocked and have ScreenDimmer turn off the Back-light for me, so I can go to sleep without the iPhone's screen annoying me. In the morning when the alarms go off, I just touch the screen to so I can turn the alarms off. No more fumbling with the iPhone trying to unlock it while I am half asleep.

During the day the second timer interval allows me to keep the dimmed screen visible for a short time, so I can still see what is on the screen while using the iPhone and still have ScreenDimmer turn off the Back-light after a time for reduced power consumption.

The new version of ScreenDimmer is now available on Cydia and Rock so why not give it a go?
