Depending on your hardware, you can change the brightness of your screen to
save power or to make the screen more readable in bright light.
To change the brightness of your screen, click the
system menu on the right side
of the top bar and adjust the screen brightness slider to the value you want
to use. The change should take effect immediately.
Many laptop keyboards have special keys to adjust the brightness. These
often have a picture that looks like the sun. Hold down the Fn
key to use these keys.
You can also adjust the screen brightness by using the Power panel.
To set the screen brightness using the Power panel:
Open the Activities
overview and start typing Power.
Click Power to open the panel.
Adjust the Screen brightness slider to the value you want to
use. The change should take effect immediately.
If your computer features an integrated light sensor, the screen
brightness will automatically be adjusted for you. You can disable automatic
screen brightness in the Power panel.
If it is possible to set the brightness of your screen, you can also have
the screen dim automatically to save power. For more information, see
