Thread: Flux - Your eyes will thank you

Hello,someone out there was pretty smart and created Flux. Check it out here(it's free):f.lux: software to make your life better
Description:

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.



It works on Windows, Mac and Linux .

You might find the change odd at first - but trust me, it will help you immensely. Try the following:

1. After installing Flux, go to "Change Lighting" in the options. Drag either the night time and day time sliders to tints that you're comfortable with.

2. Change transition speed to 60 minutes.

Now, run Flux for 24 - 48 hours and some time after dark after that period of time select the "Disable for one hour" option. You'll be surprised at how overbearingly bright your monitors seem now.
Check it out , unless you have monitor with built-in sensor that adjust the display according to the light surrounding it

Cool stuff, didn't know such thing exists.
I spend many hours a night in front of my PC so I will definitely try this.

Thanks for sharing

Wow, better than those glasses from Amazon that are specifically for computer usage.

Awesome software. I tried that and my computer seems to be alive!

this will help me a lot when working long nights on the computer, though it won't really benefit me for editing photos :|
