Designer Juan Buis created "Backglow", an app that lets users customize the illuminated logo on the lid of the new MacBook Pro models. The free version manually adjusts the logo's brightness independently of the display brightness, turns it off with one click and offers a "Breathe" mode that makes the light gently pulse. The Pro version, a one-time payment of $9 for a limited time ($15 later), adds "Music" and "Agents" modes. Apple brought back the glowing logo with the 14- and 16-inch models with PROLED XDR displays.
