Actually, the code to change the contrast only takes a couple lines of
code, and could easily be put into a library (infact I was going to do
it, and may soon)
I figgured that maybe a one or two notch adjustment between
greyscale<>bw would prrobably work fairly well across battery levels...
besides, we know now how to do it by notch, but I don't know how to do
it to xact amounts (although I may have an Idea.)
But really, IT does not Take mutch room at all (esp compaired to the
size of a large game) I'm pretty sure that the actual code would take
up less space than the *title* takes up within programs
