okay, sold.
i did have a very brief chance to play with the laptop in the sun two
days ago, and after trying more varied types of content, i better
appreciate the value of mono mode. it's sunny here today, so i hope
to get to play with it some more myself.
i've implemented what a couple of people suggested for brightness key
behavior:
- reducing brightness manually to level 0 remains colored (unlike
past releases, where level 0 also implied mono).
- hitting "brightness down" one more time when at level 0 will
switch to mono. users that use auto-repeat to get there probably
won't see a difference.
- alt-brightness-down goes to level-0 in mono mode, as it always did.
i think it's a coin-toss whether it should go to level-0 in mono or
level-0 in color. (thoughts?)
- "brightness up" from level 0 (whether from the color or mono
version of level 0) will always go to level 1, and restore color.
- sunlight-driven auto-turnoff will go all the way to 0, but won't
invoke mono mode.
bert, i think you approved of the idea of this scheme on irc, please let
me know if you still think so.
