LightMe	Apr 4 2007	LASERDAN After installing on my Core Dual iMac (running 10.4.9)and logging out and in again I find that it does switch my built-in LCD between the dimest and brightest settings, but does NOT turn off the LCD like it may do on a laptop. The iMac screen has no built-in provision for turning off the back-light, it can only be dimmed. Putting the screen to sleep does turn off the back-light, but LightMe does not do this, and as far as I know, no utility does. Applescript can be made to turn off the back-light, but it takes at least a minute and is just a bit clunky. Anybody want to really try and make this work? I know a bunch of iMac users that would be greatful! 2 stars for trying, but not ready for iMac users. (Version 1.0)		0

CRUZDREW Hey i use Scriptsaverand an applescript then when you activate the screensaver via hotkey it runs the applescript but it still takes a full minute before the screen goes black. Here is the script but it must have LoginShortUsername Replaced by your shortname and LoginPassword replaced by your loginpassword then save the script using script editor and set script saver so it uses it

do shell script ("pmset displaysleep 1") ¬

user name ¬

"LoginShortUsername" password ¬

"LoginPassword" with administrator privileges

Harmonic	Oct 11 2006	LASERDAN Works fine except it causes iTunes 7.01 to skip near the beginning of most songs, using an Intel iMac. (Version 1.5.1)		0
