Nocturne

Sometimes you should be afraid of the light…

Nocturne is a simple app for switching a computer to night vision mode. It does, however, add a few things:

• Color correction in inverted and monochrome modes - you can correct hues when inverted and won't lose a channel when using tinted monochrome.
• Window shadow toggling - if glowing windows aren't your thing.
• Background removal - hide the desktop picture so you don't see an inverted version.
