Night time viewing

For all those midnight owls, this is the application for you. Why because at night the screen is to bright, remember it is set to view in the daylight.

Well this app. is our answer or holy grail. What does it do? It adds a warm red tint to your screen so that the bright white light will no longer blind you. I will gamble that you did not know either that looking at blue or white light when it's dark can suppress your body's production of melatonin (the sleep hormone) making it even more difficult to get a good night's rest

This app. synchronizes itself with the time zone you are in, and after sunset it gradually makes your display more bearable in the dark hours.

When you go to F.lux's website. You'll notice they have to download links for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems.

This app. Puts a small icon in your Task bar which is a little "sun and moon" icon

Double click the icon, and the F.lux settings window will appear. You will notice at the bottom of the window that F.lux pinpoints your approximate position thereby giving it access to your sunrise and sunset time.

To obtain an impression of a 24-hour cicle of F.lux's capabilities, click the orb in the middle of screen and watch your screen's colour change as it travels through a full day's cycle.

There is one extra facility; if you are watching a film etc. you will not want the change of colour. So in the lower left hand corner of the settings window, you'll see a checkbox labelled Disable for one hour.
