Anyone use F.lux, Shades, Black Light or other screen dimming/tint software?
They all used to work fine but suddenly they stopped having any effect on my screen. The programs run fine, but the effect is not displayed on screen. The one way I was able to get the effect to work now is to put the machine to sleep and when it wakes it has the tint/color applied.
My question is where would I start to look to try to fix this? I imagine these programs work by adding a layer somewhere in the screen buffer and something is preventing it from showing. I tried changing graphics cards and updating to 10.6.8 and I even recently built a brand new hackintosh running 10.6.8 and it has this problem from the start.
any ideas or insight would be appreciated, these programs save my eyes at night
thanks
