      Like customize any aspect of it? The "ember" setting isn't doing it for me, and the programs that can make my screen really dark also cause BSODs :/

      So I'd like to know it this is possible :)

        What do you mean by "darker"? Redder? You can use Alt+Shift+Page Up and Alt+ Page Down or Alt+Shift+F11 and Alt+Shift+F12 to adjust the the color temperature beyond what the interface lets you do. You can get the color temperature to be 100% red at 800K. If your monitor is still too bright at 800K, then you should turn down your monitor's brightness.

        F.lux can also adjust the black level with Alt+Page Up and Alt+Page Down, or Alt+F11 and Alt+F12. While this won't adjust your monitor's backlight brightness, it still helps.

          I totally had no idea about those shortcuts...and I've had flux for years lol. I haven't crashed since I started using them, either, although the screen effect used is the same as Dimmer(I think) which crashed me all the time.

          Tyvm for your answer

            You're welcome.

            All of these keyboard shortcuts are new with Version 4. Some of them didn't even exist until very recently.
