In OS2007, brightness settings were mostly ok, although it could have been improved with more granularity, and one more step down for a darker screen.

An now, in OS2008, instead of improving on it, we get an even more cut down version, with even less brightness step, and, if I am correct, the darkest setting is not available anymore (I now find it too bright to read books in the dark). to make it worse, there is now a fade effect when changing settings, whcih makes it difficult and slow to adjust the brightness and judge which setting is right.

Grrrrr...
