I’m trying to get an Apple Script to reduce my screen brightness at night, and then a second one (probably) to reset it in the morning. I use my laptop as my alarm clock, but I need to leave it running at night for processes to run…Obviously I don’t want the bright screen at night, but I need it for my clock screen saver in the morning…I’ve found the following script, but everytime I run it, I get the following error:
System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4
I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.10
Supposedly this has worked in the past, but the forum I got it off of was several years old, and my applescript knowledge is limited at best, and there’s no time like the present to learn.
set V to 0.6
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
tell slider 1 of group 2 of tab group 1 of window 1
set value to V
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit
