iMac G5 Sleep Light Update

Now in Software Update:

The iMac G5 Sleep Light Update adjusts the brightness of your iMac G5 sleep indicator light so it's not as bright during the evening. The daytime brightness remains the same.

This update is installed in Applications > Utilities and should automatically launch. Click Update and follow the onscreen instructions to apply the update.

Note: Once the update has started, do not cancel or interrupt it. The updater takes over one minute to complete. During the update, your computer fans will run at full speed, but will return to normal once the update completes.

Is this only for certain revision iMac G5s?

Why don't they do this on other computers? I know of a few people who get annoyed at the "brightness" of the sleep light and put things over it. Personally, I can't tell once my eyes are closed, but there are people that get annoyed by it.

Interesting... lots of people have wanted this. I wonder if this is an Apple response to consumer needs.

Then the update probably is not for your iMac.

This feature seems to work on my PowerBook. At night, the light is mauch dimmer than during the day. When I wke up in the morning it is even hard to see if it is on at all. :D

Yeah, it'd be nice if they'd just release an optional preference pane that let you tweak the sleep light on any Mac. :D

But I personally actually don't care either. If I want to sleep in the same room as my iBook, I can throw it in my Tucano second skin. :)

Only Apple could release an update that refines such a minor detail still further. - Always striving for perfection... That's why we love 'em!
