I'm rather fond of the low-light version. I wish more sites had such a feature.

  I love the low-light version too, but there's just one problem - when switching between the tabs on the bottom, the page does a full reload, and it sometimes flashes white before the JS kicks in and turns it back to black. Sudden flashes of white when your eyes are relaxedly looking at a near-black page is .. jarring. To alleviate it somewhat you could make the tab changes AJAXy, or serve a different CSS file based on the choice .. or if you didn't want to persist user information server-side a nice compromise could be making the page bg colour #888 and then explicitly set up or down in the JS.

  Agreed...very slick. I'd almost make that the default view.

  when I switched to the low-light version my eyes applauded! looks very nice and the colors are in a very good combination. regarding the standard version of the page, me and my eyes think that the blue-like color is not the best choice combined with the much smoother gray tones. all told, I pretty much like the idea and the realization as a whole. keep it up!

  Thanks. I thought it was an important feature to offer designers who might spend a lot of time in front of computers at all hours of the day. This hit me at about 11pm one night while I was working on the site and the white was killing me. On the other hand, the "bright mode" is great in my office which has three massive windows. (I don't have some awesome corner office. I work in a loft space with 4 other designer/developers and one end of the room has three floor-to-14-foot-ceiling windows.)
