In depth
A closer look at Shades
Your computer monitor emits significant amounts of blue light that can cause eye strain, especially during the night, when the screen brightness might be too intense. Research has shown that tinted lenses of computer glasses or a yellowish screen color might increase eye comfort when looking directly at the monitor. As a consequence, various software applications out there are designed to protect your eye sight in different ways, allowing you to spend more time in front of the PC during nighttime without feeling discomfort. Shades Packed inside a lightweight installer, Shades is launched in the system tray. You can easily open its main window from the right-click menu. The one-window interface displays the current time and the system up-time as an extra information alongside the light and brightness adjustment options.
