Summary

The Companion app gains an optional idle dimming setting (Macro-Deck-App/Macro-Deck-Companion#245). The Companion settings page now describes its four rows: Dim when idle, Dim after, Dimmed brightness and First touch only wakes. It covers what wakes the screen, why Keep screen on is needed as well, and how Android and iPhone or iPad differ. The burn-in tip mentions the new setting.

Testing

Documentation only. The text was checked against the app on an Android 16 emulator and the iOS simulator. The existing Android settings screenshot ends above the changed rows, so it stays as it is.

Notes

The app change is in the Companion PR linked from Macro-Deck-App/Macro-Deck-Companion#245. This should be merged once that PR is merged.

Checklist

  • Tests were added or updated where needed
  • The change was verified manually where appropriate
  • Documentation was updated if the change affects documented behaviour
  • I reviewed and understand every submitted change

Macro-Deck-App/Macro-Deck-Companion#245 adds an optional setting that
dims the screen after a while without a touch on a deck. The settings
page describes its four rows and the burn-in tip points to it.
