===== General Settings =====

==== Default Illumination Level ====

You can set the default brightness of the hardware buttons, OLED Displays or TFTs by changing the ''Default Illumination Level''.
Choose one of three default illumination levels:
  * ''Maximum Brightness''
  * ''Standard''
  * ''Dimmed''
Preset value is ''Standard''.

**Important**\\  Using the ''Maximum Brightness'' value accelerates the wear and tear of OLED displays.

==== Default Color Scheme ====

In the ''Default Color Scheme'' list you can select the standard color scheme for the virtual mixer. For creating and changing color schemes see [[tb8:colors|General - Colors]].
===== Auto Dim Function =====
[{{ :tb5:auto_dim_function.png?nolink|Auto Dim Function - example settings}}]''Auto Dim Function'' allows to use automatic dimming of the console. Select the ''Enable dimming'' check box to configure the corresponding parameters. 

''Dim after XX min of inactivity'' sets the time, when the initial dimming step will be done, if there is no activity at the console.

''Lower Dimm level after each XX min of inactivity'' lets you set the time until the next dim levels will be set.

''Lowest Illumination Level'' lets you set the lowest automatic dimm level.
