The Amber: a warm screen for my evenings at the computer

I often work late into the night, on my laptop and a second screen. Windows has its own night light, and I wanted finer control: the exact warmth, the brightness, my own hours and a transition slow enough for the eye to follow.

The Amber warms the screen every evening and brings it back to neutral every morning, with a fade of about an hour. It works at the level of the graphics card, so the warm tone covers everything on screen, from the desktop to videos and games, on every connected screen: the laptop and the external monitor alike.

Everything fits in one small window:

• Night warmth in Kelvin, from candlelight to neutral daylight.
• Night brightness, for work in a dark room.
• My own hours, from evening to morning, and the length of the fade.
• A live preview: while I move a slider, the screen shows the full colour.
• Two styles: classic or Art Deco, on a velvet background of my choice.

It lives as a small dot next to the clock, grey by day and orange by night, and it starts with Windows.

My evenings at the computer now glow like amber.

Running on my own computer, every evening.
