    BRENTRN  The Webkit URL preference within NightShift needs to be changed to: http://nightly.webkit.org/builds/latest/mac

    It works great after making this change  (Version 1.6)

    KOODOUGH  Umm? Is NightShift not suppose to have any windows at all. On start up the application doesn't do anything. I don't get a window and the read me from the help menu won't work. I download another NightShift 1.5 and I still get the same results.

    I'm running a Powerbook Ti 1 Ghz OS X 10.4.8

    I went though the read me that was with the app and I still can't get the window I see from the screenshots.

    NOTE: I can get the window File>About NightShift to work.  (Version 1.5)
