Works ok, but has some potential show-stopping problems
The app works in Lion/Mountain, but has some potential show-stoppers that should be considered:
1) As mentioned in the other reviews, in some situations the dimming wont apply. Two other cases that Ive found: If you swipe or use keyboard shorcuts to switch between desktops ("Spaces") the screen will flash to the normal minimum brightness during the switch, and theough the rest of the screen is dimmed the cursor is obnoxiously bright.
2) Its not a proper status bar background app (menulet)- the author didnt disable the dock icon. If you notice in the screenshots theres a small blue D icon after the System Prefs icon on his dock. Fortunately, you can disable the dock icon by doing the following:
Open the Applications folder in Finder.
Find Dimmer than Dim app, control-click on it and choose Show Package Contents.
Open Contents folder, then open the Info.plist file in a text editor.
After the line "
Now when you start the app the annoying dock icon wont appear. You can still quit it from the Dimmer menulet menu.
