- Light Timer (Freeware. Copyright D.Stuart 1998).
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- No bells or whistles, just a very simple utility to
- disable the backlight timer on a Psion Series 5. This is
- particularly useful when using external power and
- working in a darkened environment, as I often do.
- Setting the timer to 00:00 disables the timer and the
- backlight stays on until the machine is switched off.
-
- Let's hope that such a facility is included in the next
- version of Series 5 ROM.
-
- The files associated with Light Timer can be freely
- copied and distributed intact and unchanged. No charge
- must made for any such copying or distribution.
-
- Installation.
- ------------
-
- Create a folder in /System/Apps called Light Timer.
- (Make sure that the System folder is visible. If not,
- press Ctrl+K in the system screen and select Show
- 'System' folder from the Preferences dialogue).
- Copy the files Light Timer.app and Light timer.aif into
- the new folder. The extras bar will now include the
- Light Timer application.
-
- Operation.
- ---------
-
- To switch the backlight timer off, simply run the
- application and press enter. The timer setting defaults
- to 00:00 switching the timer off (not allowed in the
- normal system screen setting). If the system screen
- control panel screen dialogue is subsequently opened,
- the timer will default to 3:00 minutes. The maximum
- allowable setting in Light Timer is also 3:00 minutes.
