Still failing to launch on login. Tried deleting prefs, repairing permissions, even redownloading the app and installing on a fresh copy of the OS. A lot times just opening the prefs takes a minute of two of spinning beachballness. While I like the features and love the app when it works, it doesn't work as it should often enough to warrant more than 3 stars.

I really like this app, more than Brightness even. My only complaints are that there's no keyboard command for toggling ScreenShad, which means you have to hit opt-plus/minus multiple times, and quite often the program does not launch automatically at login despite repeated attempts to troubleshoot the issue. For some reason the option becomes deselected on its own.

Doesn't support Tiger!

I guess it's "Shades" for me!

Thanks for a very useful program. It has made my new Mac much more joyful to use. My first question is why does the installed program create a alias to the applications folder and can this alias folder be deleted? Second, is it possible to have the option +/- change the shade in a finer increment or to make the size of the "steps" set by the user? And lastly, I notice that when playing the apple chess program, the pieces do not appear to move when screenshade app is running. Toggling screenshade on and off does not provide the same effect as quiting screenshade.
