2 Helps for Light Sensitives
If like me you sit in front of a monitor all day, your eyes may be pretty tired from all the light being blasted into your face.

Found two things that help with that.

1. Color That Site! plugin for Firefox  - lets you adjust any color in a CSS, great for WYSIWYG style figuring out
what colors are attached to what. But it can quickly turn blogs, google, facebook, whatever into a nice black and gold scheme
if you so desire. You can save profiles and paste them for others to use. Works on forums.

2. f.lux  a clock based adjustable monitor dimmer, also changes the color warmth of the screen, sits in the tray and can be disabled for color work.

Re: 2 Helps for Light Sensitives
I would strongly recommend against using f.lux. Every version I used was nearly impossible to remove after I decided that it screwed with the colors too much (yes, even on low settings). The program actually edits your current color profile, which is why the effect lingers even after you uninstall.
And unless they've changed something, support for it is the worst I've ever seen. No actual contact information was provided, the only way to get something resembling support was to post a comment on the website and hope an employee sees it.

I'd only used it in Vista, so it might work better in other OS's, and the newest version might work better, but still...

Re: 2 Helps for Light Sensitives
Is there one that uses your webcam to adjust it based on detected light?  MacBooks work like that, and it's awesome.  I'd love for Windows to have something like that for my Lenovo and my desktop.

Re: 2 Helps for Light Sensitives
f.lux is probably the closest you'd get chief without a dedicated hardware solution.

I've not had any problems with it on XP. I've been running it for around a year.

just might want to look away when you do.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I do love me some f.lux! Can't imagine using my monitor without it.

Isn't the sun already one big nuke though?

Re: 2 Helps for Light Sensitives
Yeah, so? You can nuke nukes. In fact a lot of cold war strategery was based on nuking the other guy's nukes.
