Simple Python GUI for Redshift.

Dim your screen with a click.
Only runs when you want it to.
Doesn't run in background,
So it won't eat up your valuable memory.
Change brightness to your current mood.

New

Wasn't too happy with the auto-dimmer feature for Redshift,
so I wrote my own simple 5-choice button-box.

'X' doesn't seem to do anything on EasyGui buttonboxes, go figure.
So the blank button exits, in case you change your mind.

Like the screen to be as bright as my alertness level,
and it's not at the same time every day.

Put a launcher button on my taskbar.
1 click to open, 1 click to set brightness.

2 clicks total. In & out. Real fast.
Does what I want it to.

And now it's yours,
for the most excellent price of: free:bangbang:
