Working backlight ETA?

Hey Dave/David any update on the state of play with the hardkey backlighting or a rough idea on when this might be made available? It's pretty annoying trying to find the correct buttons when watching a movie with the lights off in the theater or when watching tv in bed at night.

So they don't glow in the dark as was originally expected and they don't light up either? That's unfortunate.

A pleasant surprise is that the buttons do have a backlight (they were supposed to just glow).
But since that was a hidden feature that got added at the last moment, the software today doesn't have control over the backlighting.
But we will soon investigate adding this feature.  Stay tuned!

I appreciate the update. Now that I have everything configured and most of the kinks worked out I'm planning on doing a video review of the entire system in comparison to the Harmony Elite (and Unfolded Circle remote if I can get my hands on one in a timely manner), but I think I will hold off for a few weeks to see what comes of this. I don't want to ding the remote unnecessarily if a fix is in the works.
