  <title>Waarom wordt mijn scherm na enige tijd zwart?</title>

  <p>If it is possible to set the brightness of your screen, it will dim when
  the computer is idle in order to save power. When you start using the
  computer again, the screen will brighten.</p>

  <p>To stop the screen from dimming itself:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open het <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activiteiten</gui>-overzicht en typ <gui>Energie</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Klik op <gui>Energie</gui> om het paneel te openen.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Switch <gui>Dim screen when inactive</gui> to <gui>OFF</gui> in the <gui>Power
      Saving</gui> section.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
