    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.

    Awesome thread Ame :) I love flux, have been using it on Halogen. If it's really late and I'm just reading a book pdf or something I normally switch to Tungsten or Candle though.

    Absolute boss program, if I turn it off at night, I swear I go legally blind. First two days takes getting used to, but then it's all sweet sepia glory from then on.

    Tried it for a day or two and didn't really like it. I got used to the new colors but it didn't really help me and so I might as well not use it.

    Ugh, this thing makes me nauseas.

    I'll just accept the eye strain.

    Tried it for a week or so, hated it. I'll take the blindness.

    I've been using it ever since I found out about it. It really helps when I'm doing school work late into the night.

    I really don't understand how people don't like it. I guess if you're not up all night, eye strain really isn't that much of a problem.
