    I'm unable to locate a thread on this specific issue.

    The Windows Mobile OS allows you to set the backlight to "always on" while its plugged into a power source (AC/DC/USB). This comes in handy if you use your device as a clock, quick glance stock updates or because you like to stare at your wallpaper. This also comes in handy when using the GPS.

    I've seen 3rd party apps that come close to this but not specifically tied to the power source.

    Is there anyone interested in tackling this project?

    BBLight does this. One of my favourite applications.

    I can't believe this. I actually had that installed once. I must have missed it. Thanks!

    Funny - I did a search on BBLight and it appears I'm not the only one with "the bright idea".

    What you need to do is have a timer, not sure if you can or how to pull the current time-out, should be doable.

    The timer then calls this:

    net.rim.device.api.system.Backlight.enable(true);

    I don't know any other way to leave the backlight on, bit of a hack but works, I've also added the above code to a GPS listener to achieve the same effect
