Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menubar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. Click it again to go back. Hold down the Command key while clicking to show the menu.
The menu now has a sub-menu for deactivating Caffeine automatically after a number of minutes.

I would like to have an option, so that it prevents the CPU from sleeping (programs keep running) but lets the screen sleep (LCD turns off).

No info I can see on the developer site on how to update, AFAIK.

That should help you with just unzipping and replacing 1.03 over the 1.02.

This app is very helpful and works well. I hope the developer will post instructions for other users wanting to upgrade.
The instructions on how to show the menu is both on our web site and is displayed the first time you start Caffeine. Holding down either the command key or control key while clicking the menu bar icon will do.
Thanks,
Tomas, Lighthead Software

It's not clear to this user that the command+click would allow you to QUIT the app - this could be indicated more clearly somewhere. And although I probably read the notice upon install a few weeks back- I didn't recall it.
I also am not able to get the menu to appear with a right click on my logitech mouse, which usually is the same as control+click in most of my applications and the finder. I'm unsure if this is a problem with my mouse, or Caffeine.
In any case thanks again for your help.
