Directions for ATI Displays & BackLight 2
I figured how to make it work with BackLight 2... it's wasn't easy.
First you have to have the Developer Tools installed. You have to get ATI Displays to recognize backlightengine -- which is inside the application package. First, in /Applications select BackLight 2 and File->Get Info under Name & Extension, delete ".app" (This will change the application into a folder.) Second, open the Folder, open Contents folder, open MacOS folder. (You should have 2 files - BackLight 2 and backlightengine) Fourth, launch Terminal type cd (space) switch to the finder window showing backlightengine click and hold the top center folder of that window and drag it to the terminal. Press return type (or paste) /Developer/Tools/SetFile -c APPL -t APPL backlightengine (This will change the Creator and Type codes for that file.) Fifth, In ATI Displays add backlightengine and adjust the presets. This is what I set: Sixth, Go back to /Applications and Get Info on the folder BackLight 2 Add back (under Name & Extension) .app and close Get Info. (This will change the folder back to the program's Icon. Enjoy! |
