How to prevent the screen from dimming?

[FearoftheNight]

Is there a setting that will allow me to control how and when the screen dims? It keeps doing it during movies and it's really irritating... thanks in advance.

Is the system plugged in?

Have you checked the System Preferences?

Have you check individual application preferences? Some may let you tell teh screen to not dim.

Caffeine FTW!

See the apps thread.

Hey thanks for the responses. I'd like to be able to control regardless of whether the system is plugged in or not. I already check system preferences and couldn't find what I'm looking for. Other than some individual app preferences is it possible to adjust this without a third party app? I'm not sure Caffeine is leopard compatible either.

IN Energy Saver, click the Options button, and within there, uncheck "Dim display before Sleep"
