Sunglasses for my Computer!
Mar. 2nd, 2009 04:56 pmFor a long time I've been in search of something to darken my computer's screen darker than my screen's brightness settings will allow.
I have problems with the bright monitor and I like to stay up late on the net in a dark house (Its amazingly dark and quiet).
For some time I tried wearing sunglasses, but what I really wanted was "Sunglasses for my computer". That way I would be saving an infinitessimal amount of power and not light polluting the whole house. I looked into window clings designed to screen out sun (which I found out are not meant to use on computer screens) and hacking into my computer's settings.
Now I've found it!

It's an Irlen filter in program form!
You can not only go darker but choose any color of overlay and specify the opacity!
It's also really small ~ 60 kb. I recomend it. :)
I like a black or really dark brown filter.
