I did hint about it in another thread, but this is a rather simple, yet curious and surprisingly nice tool.

All it does is change the colouring of the screen depending on what time of the day it is. Generally, making the screen a bit more warmer or more orange at night, and more bluish during the day.
I think the idea is that generally, at night, most people have warm coloured lights, so making the screen of a similar colour makes it easier on the eyes.

It might not sound like much, but try using it for a while, and then try disabling it at night - the difference can be rather astounding.

I tried it a few weeks back. Didn't like it. Especially because I do a lot of looking at art and stuff I like to see the true color and not a tinted one. I know you can temporarily disable it so you can do color sensitive stuff but it just isn't for me.

I'm trying it now from reading this thread, it's likely something I won't use permanently though.

very interesting... I might give it a shot - thanks for posting Zinga!

Pretty interesting since my monitor tends to be hard on my eyes at night...

Thanks

I dunno... it helps a bit but not enough to warrant tainted colors.

It does sound interesting. I'll check it out later, Diego does have a good point though...

psssh... I just use my fleurescent green stare at the monitor all day and never hurt your eyes sunglasses Hahaha

Yeah, if you do a lot of colour accurate work, this thing isn't for you.
But if you do late night reading / web browsing etc, IMO it's quite nice.

You can adjust the amount it changes by, By the way, Senseito7.

Apparently it doesn't go blueish in the day, no different for me at day. I think it's useful too except I don't like to use it for late night anime.
