It appears the city/zipcode option no longer works because of the program’s age. Select your location either from your IP, town/city or type your own coordinates if you know them. RedShift GUI hasn’t been updated since 2010. It does this to change the warmness of the display which should make things easier on the eyes during the evenings and night time.

A start with Windows option is available but most other settings are trial only. Pressing the restore button resets the monitor settings to the point before Free Monitor Manager was installed. From there, you can change brightness, contrast, red/green/blue, select a different monitor or save and select user profiles. There are still some useful features available in this free version, like selectable profiles and support for multiple monitors.Īfter install, click on the tray icon to open the main window. Three effects can also be applied but they are mostly for fun and probably have little practical use.Īlthough Free Monitor Manager is obviously free to use, it’s a shame that some of the best features like hotkeys, switch profiles with the mouse, and activate on application are only available in the paid version. Modes and breaks can be accessed quickly from the context menu of the tray icon. New modes cannot be added but if you alter the settings of a current mode, they will be remembered until you press the restore button. Thre are seven built-in mode presets that set brightness and temperature to a pre-configured level. Another feature is the automation rules window where you can apply one of the built-in modes to specific running programs. It has a Breaks tab which allows you to set up a deliberate interruption that reminds you to look away or take a break from staring at the screen for a few minutes. The other options available are starting with Windows, widening the slider and remembering brightness settings.Įye Saver has a few interesting features apart from being able to set the standard options of brightness and color temperature.

The keyboard combination to alter brightness is Ctrl+ which is very similar to proprietary software and Fn key hotkeys found on many laptops. The only real problem with Desktop Lighter is it was released in the XP era and its slider looks very dated in Windows these days. Desktop Lighter lets you adjust the brightness of your screen by clicking on the tray icon and adjusting the slider up and down, or by using keyboard hotkeys.
