Work with a collection of instruments for managing the brightness of your computer display. Check the available parameters for the dynamic range of lighting and control granularity. Dim the screen, increase the output and save profiles for quick management.
Shades is a utility that allows users to easily adjust the brightness of their screens. It runs in the background with a Mac-like interface, providing greater dynamic range and finer granularity than the built-in controls.
v1.2
- [fix] Updated Shades to work correctly on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
- [chg] Shades no longer supports Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Users running Tiger should stick with version 1.2b2.
- [fix] It is now possible to click and drag the menu bar slider again.
- [imp] The Shades System Preferences panel can now run in 64bit mode, so it's not neccesary to relaunch System Preferences in 32bit mode to use it.
