New Delhi, Nov. 8 -- A new third-party Mac app lets owners of Apple's latest MacBook Pro control the glowing logo on the lid, something macOS does not offer in its settings. The app, called Backglow, can dim the logo, switch it off or make it pulse, and its developer says it works only on the new model with the PROLED XDR display.

MacRumors reported on November 7 that designer Juan Buis created Backglow. The free version lets users set the logo's brightness independently of the screen and turn the light off with one click, rather than using Terminal. A free "Breathe" mode makes the light pulse gently, similar to the sleep indicator on older MacBooks.
