[vlc-devel] [PATCH v3] Dim MacBook keyboard backlight during video playback on OSX

This patch adds the option to smoothly turn off the keyboard backlight when
a video is playing in fullscreen, to the OSX user interface.
The option is off by default and it works better if the automatic
keyboard backlight adjustment is disabled in System Preferences.
---
Hi,
This is the edited patch following the suggestions from the previous versions.
Logic is now implemented only in VoutWindowController and behaves as follow:
* Dim keyboard backlight when entering fullscreen.
* Restore backlight when exiting fullscreen or when quitting VLC.
I hope it looks better :-)
