http://www.skytopia.com/software/sunsetscreen/SunsetScreen helps take the glare off your your screen in the evening.
•2015-03-19: v1.05 - Has 24 hour mode option (default) and is more compatible for worldwide usage.
•2015-03-18: v1.04 - New 'Info' checkbox which displays more detailed information should you choose. Also overhauled system for expanding the colour range (until you do, certain options are now greyed out or restricted for sanity's sake). Finally, colours are more numerically precise.
•2015-03-17: v1.03 - SunsetScreen now allows you to select ALL colours including darker shades. Simply look for the bright orange button that will appear when you try, click it, then click Yes to the prompt, and then reboot, and voila.
Resetting to factory settings also now doesn't affect the "Load on Win Startup" setting.
•2015-03-17: v1.02 - Switched default mode to "Cool Incandescent" whilst I figure out a way to allow Windows 8+ to support darker screen modes.
•2015-03-16: v1.01 - Preferences are autosaved after controls are changed (before, you needed to manually close SunsetScreen for it to save).
Also fixed bug when occasionally certain Windows prompts may turn the screen back to normal and SunsetScreen didn't respond afterwards.
It is by the same developer of OpalCalc (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2602)freakazoid wrote:Just found out about this app as well via ghacks.net.
Might give it a try since I'm a f.lux user.
SunsetScreen is at version 1.11. It seems to be in active development right now, you should contact the developer with this request. http://www.skytopia.com/email.htmlfreakazoid wrote:Could really use some hotkey support to change the brightness like f.lux, also the GUI is not as nice as f.lux, but otherwise it works very well.

License agreement for SunsetScreenhttp://www.skytopia.com/software/sunsetscreen/#history wrote: ... Also implemented trial version (I have to eat too ). Either upgrade after a week by paying $5 for the full version, or agree to the integrated peer sharing system to use Sunsetscreen for free (can be disabled at any time). If you accept, your use of SunsetScreen is free of charge in exchange for safely using some of your device's resources, and only when SunsetScreen is not running. You may turn this off from the Options window. Please see our TOS for further information.
Good catch. Adding a note to the entry.
I've been burned a few times on this and, moreover, I am NOT a fan of minerware. I can count the implementations on one hand that were anything better than a total waste of electricity.
