Sorry, I guess this is a different account haha
I'd like to expand on f.lux.
Your monitor puts off a blue glow - all the time, you don't notice it in the day time, because it looks good, but at night.... you may have to use a camera to see what i'm talking about LITERALLY **ANY** digital camera, you will see how blue the screen is, or it will change really fast, and your room will turn orange.

This blue glow at night is not good if your trying to catch some zzzzzz and rest, it will do the exact opposite. You may have felt your eyes get tired and you can't relax, well that's because your monitor looks like daylight, if you take it outside in the day it looks normal, -- in your room it's really BLUE, because it doesn't change to sooth you eyes

f.lux fixes this completely!
1. make sure you like the setting for night time, if it's too orange, adjust it
Also the icon is by your computers digital clock, if on Windows, it will be a hidden icon, idk why, but it is, so click the tiny white arrow, and a white box should appear.
Click the blue and yellow f.lux icon one time to have the settings appear.
2. Be suer to set your location at least somewhere close to you, so your screen changes at the appropriate times.
3, Please use the slow - 1-hour transition, so your screen doesn't change in 20 seconds.
4. Please read the support page if you have any questions,

5. If you really like the effect of the program, and want it more orange, snag the beta and enjoy!
