f.lux - nice little app to make your internets experience slightly nicer

this is a good idea! (So far)

thanks. i'll try anything that'll help me get to bed/go easy on my eyes.

Same here.

Just entering my dark periods. Oooh...

Sounds like a nice app. I'll have to check it out when I get home later

Oh, it rather quickly turned dimmer/more orange. I expected it to gradually happen over maybe half an hour so that I wouldn't even realise it was changing. But it mixed quickly within about 30 seconds.

Oh well. Still a nice idea, and I actually already feel a bit more relaxed and ready for bed. I usually dim my screen when it's dark outside anyway, so at least this will do it for me.

The orange 'sunset' hue is lovely though.

Recommends

Oh wait, I'm an idiot.

There's a setting for the transition length. I had mine on 20secs, but there's one for 60mins. Make sure you change that when you first use it.

Aha, turned my screen rather orange.

Lets see if it will make a difference.

Edit: Shit this is deadly, my eyes adjusting already.

yeah this is wicked. i'm going to share it around.

Wonderful... I work on a 27inch display at night a lot... and this will work wonders for my eyes

Really loving this actually. Going to recommend everywhere.

I've used this for one night and now everything looks orange. I'm fucking bug-eyed.

So far I like this a lot.

Yeah this is a lifesaver. Cheers

used this for the last day and I'm VERY impressed. If you open up the prog from the task bar and click on the SUN icon it runs you through the 24-hour cycle to give refresh you on just how much it's dimming the screen.

don't forget to enter in your latitude and longitude. I'm well impressed on how it's perfectly mapping the day length.

does need to include the mouse pointer though.

yeah this is very cool

more comfortable stoned browsing!

i wish quake 3 got slower as i got more stoned...

very lovely

I'm going to give this a shot.

Miracles

after one day/night use I'm surprised to feel that it does work. Afraid to turn it off.

I know. It really does seem like a silly gimmick at first, but I'm really surprised and happy with the result. And it's great that everyone's agreeing that this is awesome too.

yeah I've gotta say, even if it is just a placebo thing, my eyes feel a lot less strained. usually i get a headache after using the computer at night but this just makes me want to listen to some chilled out jazz tunes.

^^ this tbh, plus it looks nicer :P

Plus, its freeware! no one had to pay to experience it... therefore we're not being "sold" anything per se

i only really use my pc during sunlight hours these days. is it still worth using? i'm resistant to running any extra software but this seems to be convincing everyone

well the shift in colour seems happens gradually, but fastest/most noticably at around 8-10pm

so base your decision on that

2 days in and i love it.
