Free red laptop screen

[mickw]

Oh great, I buy red acrylic, cut it to size - then I find this...............................

A little program that adjusts the the screen colors to red, or anything else really.
When you close the program everything reverts to normal (so it needs to be run minimised)

Works on PC and Mac and it's free

looks interesting, but it's worth considering that the colour rendition of an lcd screen changes with viewing angle. You might well still be showing white light out to the sides of your laptop screen

I'm only trying to save MY night vision 

Worth checking though

Got me excited there for a second Mick - I saw the words FREE LAPTOP....... for some reason my brain auto blanked the words red & screen........   

Looks like it could be a useful prog though...

Cheers,  John

Been using it for a while, it was on a Sky at Night CD.

Trouble with these programs is they only work well with software that is written to use Microsoft system colours for all their elements. A lot of software use their own colour settings so this type of program can't change them to red versions of the colour. So you open up something and suddenly there is a big patch of bright white on your nice red screen.

Exactly. You can't beat a piece of red perspex with some velcro spots on the corners.

Yes, Mike, you've developed a passion for changing your Avatar every day. 

Can't keep up with it!!!

PS:  I expect by the time any-one reads this, Mike will have changed his Avatar again and no-one will know what John and I are talking about!!!

Sorry..... Not that sad...!

There's obviously a subliminal message there because I have an uncontrolable urge to drink beer 

I'm impressed

Someone ate the donut? It didn't last long...
