Yes I agree the words "Dim Screen" would draw your attention more than "Screen Blank". But desktops aren't meant to be offered the former.
It's because dimming a screen requires setting a particular backlight level, which is common on a laptop but the kernel interfaces don't exist for desktop monitors. "Blanking" a screen however just requires telling the screen to turn off, which is a more universal operation that all screen types support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2142355 Title: Backlight options are visible (and nonfunctional) on a desktop machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/2142355/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
