Start > Settings > System (tab) > Backlight

Here you'll see there's more than just 4 levels. The path asked for in subject header is:

\Windows\Backlight.exe

I've put this on the right softkey, using KeySwop by Vicott Wong, so I can crank up the backlight when outdoors, without needing to guess where the button is. One thumb on the lower right corner and then the thumb presses and holds the right directional edge of the navigation pad, until it's bright enough to read (or almost enough at max in the burning Florida sun).

Hope this helps, MrG

Now I can adjust for both battery and plugged in values... and there are 10 brightness steps for each.

Here is how I took care of the backlight adjustments after converting to Manila 2D ....

I copied backlight.exe from the windows folder into the /windows/Start Menu/programs folder. That made the backlight program available under all programs so I could make it a button on the programs tab on 2D. Now I can adjust for both battery and plugged in values... and there are 10 brightness steps for each. Probably not the best way to do this but it works flawlessly.
