Problem With Brightness

Eddy'sEddy · 12-28-2009, 06:13 PM

I read about being able to change the brightness/darkness in the screen saver. I tried it. Now after getting the screen saver lighting to go dark with the left arrow, I can not get the screen saver to get lighter back to the original setting with the right arrow. Please help me to get things right again.

I have no idea why the right arrow wouldn't be making it brighter _UNLESS_ you are in the application rather than the screen-saver. The arrows only work while the screen-saver is running, not while the application is running.

If using the right arrow still doesn't work in the screen-saver, you could delete the preference file, "com.prolific.ScreenSaver.MarineAquarium3" (followed by a whole bunch of numbers). You'll find it in your home folder / Library / Preferences / ByHost /. This will set everything back to it's default values. The only downside is that you'll have to reselect your fish and reset all the preferences.

Good luck - let us know how it goes.
