Description Andreas Moog 2008-08-20 11:28:17 UTC 
The UI for brightness control (the slider) in inconsistent. In the tab "On AC Power" its label is "Set display brightness to:", and 0% means very dim and 100% means very bright.
The problem is that in the tab "On Battery Power", the numbers are opposite. The label is "Dim display brightness by:", and 0% means very bright and 100% means very dim.

I think this is counter intuitive and should be changed.
