Hi there,
I just did a software update (I'm running 10.6.8), and now my whole display is darker, because of a 'spotlight'-type look coming from the bottom of the screen... as if my screen is a stage, and these are spotlights shining on it.
I'd rather just have my screen brighter.
I don't know what this new 'feature' is called, so I don't know how to find and disable it. (I've been using the word spotlight, but I know that's the name of the Search tool, so googling that won't help me).
Can someone on this forum advise me?
Thanks,
malch
 
Can you make a screenshot and attach it to your next post?

Have you also taken a look at Activity Monitor (SHOW ALL PROCESSES should be selected) and seen any strange process (maybe print the list and attach it to your next post?)?
 
Hi Sim,
I just did a restart, and it's back to normal.
Thank you for your prompt offer to help though!
Regards,
malch
