Backglow app lets MacBook Pro owners dim, pulse or switch off the glowing Apple logo, MacRumors reports
A new third-party Mac app called Backglow gives owners of the new MacBook Pro more control over the illuminated Apple logo on the lid, according to MacRumors. The app was created by designer Juan Buis.
The glowing logo is one of the more visible changes on the latest MacBook Pro models, and until now the options for managing it have been limited. As MacRumors notes, Apple does not let users set the logo's brightness independently of the display, and turning the light off has required a Terminal command. Backglow wraps those controls in a simple app.
