Darker screen?

[Gary Naka]

Is there a way to make the photo.net screen darker?

Something like a mid gray

Looking at a WHITE screen makes my eyes hurt.

Cranking up the light level for photos makes an all WHITE screen even brighter.

 

That is the same problem that Word and Excel have.

User Interface design has ignored the effect of looking at a BRIGHT screen for a LONG time.

I much prefer the old orange or green on black screens of the pre-Windows world, or even Win 3.1.

Figured it out.

Do it in Firefox Settings, and it does it globally.

Well that did not work out.

I did not like the global color change on other forums and web sites :(

Take a look at Night Eye

There's a setting on most monitors that switches the bright white to a night setting and a lower Kelvin. Maybe that will help.

In general:

On a Mac try System Preferences > Display

 

and elsewhere (night effect, etc.)

 

Most monitors have a knob or setting button somewhere or other to brighten and dim the screen. Look for monitor instructions

I wish.

YEARS ago, I had a Sony CRT monitor with a brightness toggle button.

Bright for pictures, dim for working on Excel/Word, and it worked great. Easy to switch back and forth.

Except for that one monitor, I have not run into a monitor with a bright/dim switch. You had to go into the settings to dim the monitor.
