and then change "dark" to "light!" Ah! Relief! I will proceed to purchase. I could not have tolerated the inverted color ("dark") screen. Strange that the default value is "Dark."

Elmer Fudd got a reaction from Jowday in Help screens should say HOW not merely WHAT
nick graham is absolutely right, thank you. When I was developing s/w help files, the most challenging task - always - was translating engineer-speak from "what" into end-user "how-to", ...the number one reason to not let engineers author help files. All well and good to tell the end-user that they can adjust brightness - for example - , but you must not tell the end user to do something without telling them where to find the icon or panel where that action is located, preferably with an image of the icon or panel, and how to display the icon or panel if it is not already displayed by default.
Where is the Adjustment Panel found? How to get to it? If not displayed, how to display it? 😉
Perhaps something like this (attached image)?
