Yes I know that it can be turned off, but not easily. I even remember that I wrote the first toggle for easy access through KUAL. I am not developing or use any jailbroken features for the PW any more. I am quite happy to use my PW only for reading now. It is great to hear that my extension inspired a new and better version that is up to date with extra features.
To normal people the reason to turn it off may be battery life, but I never believed that to matter much on the lowest setting. I also don't believe that the lowest setting is too bright to read in pitch black darkness. Others do believe those two things though, and that is the reason I wrote the extension. Maybe it is selfish, but I don't like to spend my spare time developing things that don't benefit or enhance my reading experience.
Both my PW1 are at latest firmware, and other than the lost usealtfonts I don't miss anything. I am not even sure if they are still jailbroken after the update or not, and I don't care.
