Powerful Screen Dimming with ScreenShade
ScreenShade is a powerful screen dimming application for Mac that allows you to easily adjust the brightness of your screen. With this program, you can darken your screen completely or make it really bright, providing you with more control than the built-in Apple brightness tool.
Accessible from the menu bar, ScreenShade offers a "toggle ScreenShade" option that adjusts the brightness according to the level of light in the room. However, the automatic brightness detection feature may not always choose the optimal level, often resulting in a screen that is too dim for proper use. In such cases, it is recommended to open the preferences and manually set the brightness using the convenient slider.
Additionally, ScreenShade allows you to select specific areas of the screen to shade, giving you even more customization options. The application also provides two simple shortcuts (Option + and -) for quick manual adjustment of the brightness.
Overall, ScreenShade is a useful tool to have if you frequently work in poor lighting conditions and need more control over your screen's brightness than what the default settings offer.
