To use brightness click on the dial towards the right window of the window. To make the screen dimmer use the :kbd:`left arrow` key or click on the dial and drag it towards the left. If you want to make the screen more bright press the :kbd:`right arrow` key or drag the dial towards the right. After doing this you will be asked to confirm the current brightness is OK while needing to select :guilabel:`Yes`. If you do not respond it will go back to the old brightness which is useful because if you made your screen illegible it will revert to the old settings.
