There is a new backlight app for HTC Diamond being developed over at XDA. Going to check it out now.

I just checked that out, but how does it work more smoothly than the standard backlight driver?

I just read that too, I am interested in this program.
Espically the whole, going to sleep portion. This sounds like it would help out a ton on battery life.

I am gonna take a chance and install this puppy!

I think it is supposed to transition better as the light changes. I installed it last night and will play with it today.

The ability to set the range of min and max light gives you a more subtle transition effect. I have been testing it today and it's actually kind of pleasant.

So a free backlight app that looks nice and is supposed to be better for your battery is what we are getting, which is cool with me.
