How adjust Fujitsu Lifebook A530 display brightness/contrast?
The display on my Fujitsu Lifebook A530 is so bright it's actually painful to watch. Especially at night. I have tried the F6-F9 keys (marked ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲) that I think are supposed to adjust brightness/contrast but no go. Any ideas as to what to do? Yeah, shades - but that somehow seems so low-tech.- Commander_Cool

Windows 7 Dark Aero Themes (Relieve Insomnia)
I've read how the brightness of LCD displays, directly in the eyes, contributes to insomnia. So I want to switch to a dark aero theme.
