Shades is a FREE utility for controlling the brightness of your screen. It runs in the background providing always-available fine-grained control over the brightness of your display via a slick Mac-like interface.
Though all modern Apple laptops have brightness controls for dimming the screen in dark conditions, there are several situations where the built in controls are unsatisfactory. The granularity of control is rather coarse, and the minimum brightness setting still quite bright when working in pitch darkness.
New in this version:
[fix] Updated Shades to work correctly on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
[chg] Shades no longer supports Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Users running Tiger should stick with version 1.2b2.
[fix] It is now possible to click and drag the menu bar slider again.
[imp] The Shades System Preferences panel can now run in 64bit mode, so it's not neccesary to relaunch System Preferences in 32bit mode to use it.
