I found a free download.

So, I guess I answered my own question.

Aloha.

Would be interesting to know how you get on with 'Shades' and if it does make a significant difference. Could you post back and let us know?

Thanks

I love the application, easy to use and not to mention free.

I love it so much I made a small donation to the developer via Paypal.

It really works, it installs a small icon on the upper right along with a 1" slide bar which you can drag anywhere... you can make it way darker than the default setting and WAY brighter if needed.

Thanks - that sounds like a solution. I might be able to take my sunglasses off now:-)
