I use F.lux. I find certain things about it irritating[1] and I don't see any signs of updates or improvements from the author. Unfortunately, it appears to be patented, which rules out the possibility of competition spurring improvement.
[1] screen dimming is way too fast, happens in sync with the sun going down even though I want normal colors til 9pm, odd behavior when waking the computer, no ability to create custom brightness curves (e.g. in the afternoon, the sun bounces off the building behind me, greatly intensifying brightness for about two hours).
- bdunbar 14y agoscreen dimming is way too fast, F.lux has a preference for transition. Fast (20 seconds) or Slow (1 hour). though I want normal colors til 9pm, Change your location to a point two hours to your west?
