New! PC supports slow transition and exact location finding
Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?
Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?
During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun.
f.lux
F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.
It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.

I tried this program a few months ago and kicked it because that computer was hooked up to my TV and it messes with the colors in Video, so it made my TV shows look funky. But now that i have a laptop, i was noticing it was harsh on the eyes at night, even the dimmest backlight setting would begin to make my eyes hurt. so i went back and downloaded it again, and instant change.
F.Lux is for Windows/Linux/OSX, so give it a shot, see if you like it.
If you do not use your computer to watch alot of video, you should like it
For windows its a quick install, and also a good uninstaller incase you do not like it.
it uses less than 5 megs of ram even after extended periods.
