slider_idea++;
To put some more meat on this from another user, I often will sit "idle"
reading a long web page, figuring out a page of code, or deciding what to write
next, and inevitably the screen will get dimmer while I'm in the middle of a
thought process. This comes at just the right time to be annoying and
distracting to me. If the timeout was shorter, I would turn the feature off
completely. If it was longer, I don't think I'd recognize the benefits of the
dimming before my screen saver cut in, dimming the screen entirely. What I
think would be helpful is two-fold:
* People think differently, at different speeds, and with
different queues acting as distractions. An option to change the timeout
before dim would be awfully nice. Here is where the slider option might fit
well.
* Other times, I think the timeout would be great set to a
shorter value, except for key moments when I'm clearly working. In these
moments, it should not interfere at all. An option to perform a mouse gesture
/ keystroke combination / mouse placement that would temporarily disable or
increase the timeout length would be awfully useful. Perhaps the upper right
of the screen, or something similar to OS X's hot corners.
