Hello, this is a known issue - I'm working to figure out a fix for this. Thanks :) |

Oh, this isn't my product, I was just trying to shed some light on to why you may have gotten confused when trying to use it as an FTP client. :) |

That's because this isn't an FTP *client*, it's an FTP *server*. They are totally different things, and both have a hugely different set of setup options and what not. |

So I've done a bit of research on this topic, and I believe you are correct - darker screens require less power to display, simple as that. My only comment is that I'm not sure that the consumption level change will be big enough to make a practical difference, but there will definitely be one. Good thinking, I hadn't actually thought about if power consumption would change. - Joel |

Hello, The mouse pointer not being covered is a bit of an issue currently - but a known one at that. I'm looking into how to fix that. As to your question about if this reduces power usage, unfortunately it doesn't. It is physically impossible to dim a monitor below its lowest native dimness setting (which I'm pretty sure is what the apple brightness controls let you do). ScreenShade works by overlaying and managing a semi-transparent black window over your monitor (or monitors) that effectively dims the screen further. If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to email me at info@trutwo.com, or chat me up on aim at trutwosw. Hope this helps answer your questions. |

Just as a note: It appears the option-plus and option-minus keys are backwards. In my rush to get 1.2 out late last night I messed that up. It will be fixed in 1.3. What are some other features you want to see in 1.3? So far I have localization on the table and that's about it. Tell me how I can make ScreenShade better! |

There is a couple ways to avoid this bug: Firstly, it is caused by going into Spaces.app (as opposed to switching spaces with control and a number). Secondly, to avoid it making you restart your computer, just hit f11 and screenshade will move out of the way allowing you to quit it from the menu item. That, or use the command-option-f12 hotkey that was added to 1.1 I am investigating a fix and will post 1.2 very shortly |

The name of this app sort of convinces me not to download it. |

Intel machines are way faster than any g4 you can come by, so there's something wrong with that statement. |
