  </info>

  <title>Set screen brightness</title>

  
Depending on your hardware, you can change the brightness of your screen to

  save power or to make the screen more readable in bright light.

  
To change the brightness of your screen, click the

  <gui xref="shell-introduction#yourname">system menu</gui> on the right side

  of the top bar and adjust the screen brightness slider to the value you want

  to use. The change should take effect immediately.

  <note style="tip">

    
Many laptop keyboards have special keys to adjust the brightness. These

    often have a picture that looks like the sun. Hold down the <key>Fn</key>

    key to use these keys.

  </note>

  
You can also adjust the screen brightness by using the <gui>Power</gui> panel.

  <steps>

    <title>To set the screen brightness using the Power panel:</title>

    <item>

      
Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui>

      overview and start typing <gui>Power</gui>.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Click <gui>Power</gui> to open the panel.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Adjust the <gui>Screen brightness</gui> slider to the value you want to

      use. The change should take effect immediately.

    </item>

  </steps>

  <note style="tip">

    
If your computer features an integrated light sensor, the screen

    brightness will automatically be adjusted for you. You can disable automatic

    screen brightness in the <gui>Power</gui> panel.

  </note>

  
If it is possible to set the brightness of your screen, you can also have

  the screen dim automatically to save power. For more information, see
