I'm sorry for the dumb thread title. It's the only way I'm pretty much sure people will click and not checking out these two programs would be a real shame because they make your computer work a lot less demanding on the eyes.

F.Lux/Red Shift "adjusts the color temperature according to the position of the sun. A different color temperature is set during night and daytime. During twilight and early morning, the color temperature transitions smoothly from night to daytime temperature to allow your eyes to slowly adapt".

Windows users - f.Lux - Also for Mac OS X/Linux/iPhonee
Linux users - Redshift - Also for Ubuntu, OpenBSD, FreeBSD

Try it out, if it's just ShaolinHypeTM, let me know so I'll stop using wacky thread titles, if it's great tell a friend !

I just installed it. My screen looks weird now so I can't really say whether or not it's helping. But we'll see in a few weeks.

It's working then Very happy You can also disable f.Lux (don't know about RedShift) for an hour, for any color sensitive work.

Huh.

I was wondering why my screen was tinted red.

Then I remembered, oh yeah, I downloaded f.lux! Cool

Very cool, thanks!

None of this is really happening, SWIM's mind is so sick and bored than it has to invent all sorts of "abracadabrantesques" stories...

Oh my god, at first I disliked the red tint, but now after getting used to it, it's a blessing for my retina.

Thanks for sharing these little apps, brother!

I'm always fiddling with the lights and monitor brightness to make things more pleasantly lit, so I'll check it out! Thanks!

I’ve been thinking for a while about the effect of using a computer late into the night on sleep, this could be quite a useful tool, it will probably take some getting used to though!

Thanks for the heads up Smile

Thanks Shaolin! This is great! I particularly like the pointer contrast at night. My screen is right in front of a big window, so it makes a big difference especially at dusk and dawn.
