Product Description:

DarkAdapted is useful for astronomers and others who need to preserve dark adaptation while using the computer. DarkAdapted controls the three gamma channels (red, green, and blue) independently. It also provides full control over preset gamma settings, fade rate, and gamma toggle keys.

What's new in this version:

  • License window now appears only when DarkAdapted detects that you are opening a build that is more recent than any other build previously launched.
  • Fixed slight display issue when Control window's Show Details control was not checked.
  • Improved gamma fading performance.
  • Preferences window: Added dialog explaining that, due to a Mac OS X bug, the Hidden login item setting may not work as expected, and suggesting a workaround. This dialog appears when changing the login state of DarkAdapted to hidden when it was previously not set to open hidden.
  • DarkAdapted no longer writes changes to login items, unless those settings are explicitly changed in the DarkAdapted Preferences window.
  • Installer does better job of archiving previous version(s) of DarkAdapted.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
