The result is somewhat akin to seeing a photo negative of your screen (images after the jump). + +Mac users may be aware that there is already a similar option in the Universal Access preference pane to invert the screen (try hitting ctrl-opt-cmd-8), but Nocturne has a few additional nice touches, including the ability to to change tints and turn off shadows. + + + +The ability to kill shadows is particularly welcome since, when the light and dark tones are reversed, the "shadows" become annoying bright white halos. + +Other improvements over the default Mac OS options include: + +>* Proper color correction in monochrome modes - you don't lose all your blues or reds when you tint the screen. + +>* Window shadow toggling - if glowing windows aren't your thing. + +>* Background removal - hide the desktop picture so you don't see a inverted version. + +Hardly a ground breaking app, but still a very nice option. Using Nocturne to create a "night vision" mode can make a nice change for those whose eyes are tired after staring at the screen for too long. + +Also, as the [43 Folders blog][1] notes, Nocturne is great for working in full sunlight -- very handy for those of us pioneering the poolside telecommute. + +As with the rest of Blacktree's apps, Nocturne is free and can be [downloaded from the site][2]. + +[1]: http://www.43folders.com/2007/05/09/nocturne/ "Nocturne: Free “night vision” app from the maker of Quicksilver" +[2]: http://docs.blacktree.com/nocturne/nocturne "Blacktree: Nocturne"
