> I can use F2 for my brightness now.

You should also be able to use fn-F1 to decrease your brightness and fn-F4 to show your widgets.


The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.

I see now that F1 shows some of my widgets, fn+F1 decreases the brightness and fn+F2 increases the brightness. fn+F5 shows it's decreasing brightness but actually does nothing and fn+F6 shows it's increasing brightness but actually does nothing. Fn+F4 shows launch pad. I rarely use my function keys anyway. Since I've programmed some of the function keys to do what I want, they probably don't do what yours do. Sometimes I try to program them to do certain things but it doesn't take. Not that important to me.

Actually, all my F keys are programmed to do my bidding, and I've got to hit fn to get them to do their default actions.

fn-F5 and fn-F6 should decrease and increase the brightness of your keyboard backlight.

OK, once I turned the light off I could see the difference in the keyboard backlight. Thanks. I never had a keyboard backlight until I got my Macbook Pro mid-2012.

Thanks, Artie.

I'd have never figured that out, because unless I've missed it, there's no such pref in Snowy. (I've got brightness, but not contrast.)


You mean under "Accessibility"? Because my brightness control is under "Display" and the contrast control is under Accessibility on my Mavericks.

There should be a preference for that.
