Do you just mean adjusting the brightness by updating the value in /sys/devices/platform/silvermoon-bl/backlight/silvermoon-bl/brightness? Or did you find a way to actually put the infocast into night mode where the screen dimas and displays the just a large time diplay?

Played a bit. Here's what I see when I go to night mode:
Neat - you can do a
and screen goes dark. (like its off)
then go to /usr/widgets directory and run some flash....
Historically for "chumby" version it is:
I wonder if its something similiar. I tried the above and it didn't work. It did delete the /tmp/flashplayer.event every time I ran it though.

I think I found a bug in your Panel Designer app. You have the clock item in the upper right corner in your sample config, but if you place it anywhere else on the screen it blocks buttons from being able to be pressed that are around the same y-coords. For example I have it here:
I have another button on the right of the screen at x=575 and y=350 that doesn't recognize when I press it (it doesn't change colors and action doesnt happen). When I move the clock somewhere else I can then press that button, but new ones around the same level as the clock display the same behavior.
Code:
<label id="clock">
<labelx>40</labelx>
<labely>300</labely>
<labelsize>60</labelsize>
<labelcolor>0xFF0000</labelcolor>
</label>I have another button on the right of the screen at x=575 and y=350 that doesn't recognize when I press it (it doesn't change colors and action doesnt happen). When I move the clock somewhere else I can then press that button, but new ones around the same level as the clock display the same behavior.
I have spotted a new bug. If you have a clock item on secondary page that you navigate to via a menu item the clock display is all messed up. i.e. It is partially blacked out or doesnt appear at all. You can recreate this by using your example config and creating a new config with just a single clock in the middle of the screen with a large size font. You will notice if you take the clock out of the first screen it will display the one on the second screen as expected. I suspect that when you address the other bug I mentioned this may be fixed as well.
edit: I actually am seeing a lot of weird behavior when switching back and forth between screens, like buttons disappearing. It isn't just with the clock.
Thanks for all your work on this! Because of this app I have a very nice touchscreen for controlling my HA software that can also act as a squeezebox. All for just $70. Pretty amazing.

I received my 4 Gb microSD cards today and figured out a faster way to use my 16Gb cards. Initially I was just imaging the original (already modified) microSD card and expanding each of the partitions. For whatever reason I couldn't do much with this card other than what I had originally done with the first initial microSD card.
This are the steps that worked for me.
1 - created a new "virgin" image from another Infocast
2 - copied image over to either a 4, 6 or 16 Gb microSD card
3 - deleted 4th partition and expanded 2nd and 3rd partition.
4 - Chumby is now booting fine with the 4,6 and 16 Gb microSD cards.
Damage,
So now to catch up. Are the following steps OK?
1 - Lamp server created sitting to the side and online
2 - Install XPL hub, XPL Logger and Sender on Infocast; validate that it runs on reboot and with DCM
- during the install of XPL via libraries saw the following error - not really thinking its an issue?
Thinking also of utilizing XAP with your TS setup.

i think i've fixed your two bugs with my latest update. this will most likely be my last update for a while, other than bug fixes. i've probably spent at least 70-80 hours teaching myself actionscript & working on this app and i've got a bunch of other projects to work on.
