[23:38:18] sphery: danielk22: settings for night mode are fine, as long as they're not buried out-of-easy reach in the settings screens--i..e make them "live settings" so that if you're doing playback in night mode and you change brightness, it saves that value right then and there (as opposed to having to go into Utilities/Setup|Media|TV Settings|Playback|... and try to find the right setting to change, then go back to playback to test it, then go back to ...
[23:38:24] sphery: ... settings...)
[23:38:54] sphery: at least that's what I'm trying to push with the settings rework--use settings where appropriate/necessary, but don't bury them in an "offline" settings screen
[23:39:24] sphery: (that said, if the setting isn't appropriate or necessary, that's fine, too--like if you're just scaling the day mode setting or something)
[23:40:21] sphery: just wanted to make it clear that I won't come after people who add settings as long as they're sensible and implemented such that it's easy to use
[23:42:40] Seeker`: someone is implementing a night mode?

[00:12:42] danielk22: sphery: I thought of that, but I think that may be to complex in this case. I'm pretty sure something close to 15% for brightness and 10% for contrast will work.. I just want to try it at night before I commit to those values.
[00:14:49] sphery: danielk22: sounds good... I just wanted to make sure that people don't fear putting in sensible settings because of misinterpreting my goals :)
[00:15:37] sphery: and, yeah, if it is something that can be done without settings, that does make it easier for everyone
