# Dimming
The full screen night clock can dim itself in low light levels. This is a bit complicated because on at least some devices the actual brightness of the display is not set directly by the software brightness control. Instead a complex algorithm is used controlled by some OEM resources which a non-system app like SecondsClock is not able to read. The situation is further complicated by the auto-dimming option on some devices which adjusts the display brightness according to the ambient light level. Reading the system display brightness can give you the value before or after auto-dimming adjustment depending on the device and the OS version. Setting a zero screen brightness does not necessarily make the screen dark enough for a bedside night clock in a dark bedroom. So SecondsClock can use the opacity of the clock itself to dim it further, right down to zero intensity if you want.
