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:

This final candidate expires on 01 November 2008.
This is a final candidate release. If no serious issues are reported, this will become DarkAdapted 2.3.4.
Refresh gamma values now defaults to "on" with a period of 5 seconds. This only affects new installations, and will not affect existing settings.
Waking from sleep will now refresh screen gamma(s), if machine has been in sleep mode for more than 3 minutes.
Mac: Pro Feature: Scheduling Window: Added the option to schedule AppleScript execution in addition to gamma fades.
- In the Edit Event Window, two radio buttons appear in the Event Details region: Gamma Change and Run AppleScript. Selecting Gamma Change presents the same options as earlier versions, and Run AppleScript allows you to execute an AppleScript that is in DarkAdapted Pro's AppleScripts folder (alongside the DarkAdapted application).
- When editing a scheduled AppleScript, you may select the desired AppleScript from the AppleScript: pop-up menu.
- When editing a scheduled AppleScript, a control labeled Run this AppleScript only at the specified minute appears. Enabling this control will run a scheduled AppleScript only if DarkAdapted Pro and the machine are running (and not sleeping) during the scheduled minute. If this control is enabled and the machine is asleep during the scheduled execution minute, the AppleScript will not run. If Run this AppleScript only at the specified minute is not selected, the most recent event -- if it is an AppleScript -- will execute when returning from sleep, or when launching DarkAdapted Pro.
- If the scheduled AppleScript cannot be found (because, for example, it was deleted or renamed), then DarkAdapted simply beeps at the scheduled time, and does not execute the Event.
Mac: Pro Feature: Scheduling Window: When creating a new Event, the default Event Name is now unique (i.e., not used by any existing Event).
Mac: Pro Feature: Scheduling Window: If any scheduled events specify that a Preset should be selected by name, and the Preset has been renamed or deleted, DarkAdapted Pro presents a notice when the Scheduling Window first opens. This warning is also displayed if a scheduled AppleScript has been renamed or deleted. After presenting the error dialog, DarkAdapted Pro selects the event(s) containing errors for your review.
Scheduling Window now saves its sort column and direction.
