Remarks
To change device settings for the display and backlight, you can write a provisioning XML file that you customize for the Display configuration service provider. However, the Display configuration service provider supports only a subset of elements and its own attribute values for the characteristic and parm elements.
For more information about elements, see Provisioning XML Document.
Example
The following example code shows how to set default display settings on a device.
