This could be quite good if you can get it to work.

My thoughs are:
I have a realy good flash based flip clock (HH:MM no seconds) that fills the screen and runs in the browser, now if you can get the case statement to work and if you can find out how to disable the screen blanking after timeout, then in the first 'case "2" in' result could be made to keep screen switched on; set at say brightness 1 so it is just visible at night and to open the browser with the flash clock, that would be sweet.



You might have found a new way to use the 'Simple Brightness Applet'

Keep going.
