Once I installed the application, a cute little light bulb icon got installed into my Downloads folder. I clicked on the icon and came across the application screen where a number of options were waiting to be configured.

The screen was divided into different options, which I configured accordingly. I then tick marked the “Backlight on when charging” option, entered 20% in the “Disable if battery below” and entered “20 mins” in the “turn off after" (menu) option. I also selected the “Turn On” option for receiving new emails and sms.

On further scrolling down the menu, I realized that you could also configure the backlight according to applications. I proceeded to test this option by selecting “Address Book” from the drop down menu and then entered “15 mins” in the “Leave on for” option.
After saving all the settings, I went back to my homescreen and accessed my Address book. I left it open and it sat idle for 15 minutes without the backlight ever dimming.
When I clicked on the menu (BlackBerry Key) while I was one my homescreen, the “Leave It On” was right there at the drop down menu. As soon as I clicked it, the backlight didn’t turn off. Then I clicked the “Leave it off” option and the Backlight worked according to the default BlackBerry settings.
Since I had selected the “Turn On” option for receiving new emails and sms, every time I received a message, the screen did turn on automatically.
