DarkAdapted is a gamma control application program. It modifies your screen gamma settings so that you may, for example, preserve your dark adaptation while using your computer.
DarkAdapted Features
* DarkAdapted is free of charge (but remains copyrighted by Stephen E. Hutson).
* Customizable gamma presets. Use predefined settings, create your own, and manipulate your presets with ease. For example, use the “Dark Red” setting to preserve your dark adaptation. Or create a preset to deal with monitor characteristics or viewing conditions.
* High-resolution sliders allow you to adjust red, green, and blue video components individually and in real time.
* Small screen mode hides advanced controls, minimizing the use of valuable screen real estate. The Main Window may also be hidden entirely.
* Select a preset by typing the first few letters of its name.
* Export and import gamma presets to and from disk files. Many sample presets files are included with the download.
* Full AppleScript support (on Mac OS), including a sample AppleScript with the Mac OS download.
* “Gamma Toggle” keys offer a quick return to full brightness. Modifier keys are full assignable.
* Switching to gamma presets is performed via smooth fades, never abrupt shifts in screen color or brightness.
* Gamma fade duration is user-configurable (from instantaneous to two seconds), and slider controls may be set to update in real time during the fade.
* Control console “remembers” its position on your screen.
* Saved gamma preset is restored when DarkAdapted is launched, and reset when DarkAdapted quits.
* Manual refresh preference can override gamma adjustments made by screen savers or other software.
* Automatic or manual checking for updates via the Internet.
* Useful display features show gamma changes’ effects on selected text, as well as text on different backgrounds.
* Useful numeric and graphical readouts of gamma values.
* Includes the same powerful night vision technology as ScopeDriver, a full featured telescope control program.
* And many other time savers and productivity enhancers.
