I'm making an outdoor app. Apparently, the backlight is not needed under the sunlight and it will save battery as well. I also want to use the touch screen without unlocking the watch while I'm using it. So, I have settings as shown below.
It works fine, but when I call either E.showMessage() or E.showPrompt(), the backlight turns on. It seems these E classes overrides the backlight setting in the code. I can immediately call Bangle.setBacklight(0); to turn it off, but wonder if there is a way to keep the backlight off while I'm running the app.
Thank you, @Gordon!
Yes, it works! I thought Bangle.setBacklight(0) would do the job, but it didn’t.
Thanks again for your quick reply. @Gordon, you are the best!

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
