Lab Tick para Mac

April 2010 15" MacBook Pro/2.66GHz/Core i7/4Gb RAM/OS X 10.6.8 (Build 10K549) Backlight and SysPrefs were playing in two different ballparks...it wouldn't stay lit no matter what I did, but Lab Tick solved my problem. (Dev seems to have stopped looking at/updating his Website, which still includes a link to VERSIONTRACKER...that re-directs to Sweet Midi Player X, and a blog that hasn't been written to since Apr. 2011; I wonder whether this app is still in development?)

It solves an annoying problem of not having enought keyboard backlight control

LT 0.9.4 has been working well on my Powerbook duocore with all versions of Snow Leopard from 10.6.3. Does it also work on Lion, where the same annoying problem of the keyboard lighting is still met ?

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. This app does resolve rather nicely a short coming of mac OS and it even functions quite nicely so I was very happy with it. Then I turned off my brand new macbook pro and I realised my error. Shutdown time went from almost instant to around 10s and start up when from ~20s to over a minute!! You may say its hardly the end of the world but since this app replaces a small inconvenience with a larger one it is NOT WORTH IT. Feel free to take a chance yourself, it may not affect you but since the problems remained after I removed the app, and googled it to death be careful. I even emailed the creator (a week ago) to allow him/her the opportunity to assist me before writing this review but I have had no response. Please help me fix the damage your app has done to my wonderful computer and I will gladly update the review.

I've googled this issue like crazy but haven't found a true fix for it yet. Maybe someone can help me. I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.4 The backlight of my Macbook keyboard flickers BAD after about 10-20 seconds of this application running. It's really apparent in the dark. The backlight level goes from totally off to full brightness repeatedly until I quit the app. Other times the backlight flicker is fairly severe and annoying but not overly drastic from completely off to full brightness. I tried reinstalling the app once or twice to see if that would resolve the problem because I LOVED THE APP SO MUCH, but that didn't help. I've spent lots of time searching for another app that will do the same thing but haven't found anything. Maybe I should've spent that time emailing the developer. Hmmm. Any suggestions to stop this crazy flickering? And yes, I've messed with the sliders and settings of the app. It didn't help at all.
