Thank you SO much Bugbyte. I hadn't even thought of the before noon/after noon way of doing it. I also like how the repeat function gives off an unintentional sort of animated/gradual dimming effect...pretty cool! Perhaps Aychamo can incorporate this with something similar to what Jirka linked to when Kindling is released (and I hope that's soon!).

It will definitely be cool to have this run according to the user's sunrise/sunset times. In the meantime, I plan on adjusting my iCal alarms according to daylight savings, so that will at least put me in the right ballpark for when to dim/brighten my display.

Thanks again for doing this, hopefully others will see how useful it can be!
