Screen Shades is a utility to help users with sensitive eyes. With Screen Shades you can tint the display with five tints (gray, blue, yellow, pink, and My Tint, a color selected from the Colors window by the user). The Control Panel provides a drop-down menu to select the tint, a slider to control the amount of the tint and a checkbox to turn the effect on/off. The Control Panel may be dragged out of the way on the desktop and minimized. Control Panel settings and position are saved between sessions.

KILIKA  Does not fill wide screen 1440 x900 leaves 1/2 gap on the right side which makes it look pretty bad

BLESSED  I'm delighted to report that I have been using Screen Shades for a couple of weeks. I am so THRILLED with it, and have nothing but positive to say. I've deleted a similar program from my iMac since discovering Screen Shades. There is no comparison as far as: versatility, beauty (for those who just enjoy COLOR), creativity, and practicality. Part of my disability involves being very affected by artificial light (especially bright light or white). Those who have similar problems know that there are specific colors and shades of colors that relieve eye strain, which vary depending on the individual. Screen Shades offers several colors to choose from as well as a slider to select preferred intensity. I, personally, use the pink tint most for ease on my eyes, and find the blue tint to be immediately "relaxing" (like a "spa" for the eyes--my body also seems to feel the effect). In addition, amazingly, it gives you the ability to create your own color which you can store as "My Tint." Screen Shades is user-friendly (important to me) and it is completely FREE! What more could I ask for? The developer of this nifty little program has come up with quite a variety of other practical and entertaining applications, several of which I'm also enjoying (which are either free or require a ridiculously minimal fee). They can all be found by going to: www.customsolutionsofmaryland.50megs.com

Enjoy perusing that site, and have fun with Screen Shades! I certainly am.

P.S. I do not work for any company and am not being paid for this review! I'm just a Happy Camper.

PIPER WILSON  I could tell within 10 seconds that I was going to adore this program. Even if you don't think you have sensitive eyes, you should try this. It just makes all the white look less glaring.

I wish there was a way to have the settings on without having to have the icon in the dock. I'm not a computer geek, but maybe a system preference?

Any old which way, this is great!
