SBright

A screen that is too bright might be dangerous for the naked eye after long exposures, a problem that SBright intends to fix. The program works in System Tray and it allows you to easily adjust your computer’s screen brightness.

The application silently works in System tray and it allows you to adjust your screen brightness to a certain value, so that it is not too obtrusive or dark. For instance, you can increase the brightness at daytime, since light coming from outside sources might stop you from correctly seeing the screen, whilst toning down the brightness at night time could have a calming effect on your eyes.

You can manually adjust the brightness of your screen, not just set it to a predefined value. This means you can tune the brightness of your screen to an optimal level.

SBright can help you quickly access your screensaver, providing that you have one set for when your computer is idle. By doing so, you can see how does the screensaver behaves when the brightness of your screen is too high or low, then adjust it accordingly.

Aside from this, the program works in System Tray, meaning that it will not stay active on your screen, and once started, you can access it only when you need to. The application is portable and it does not require installation, nor does it modify any of your registries.

To sum it up, SBright offers you a quick and efficient way of adjusting the brightness of your screen. The application is pretty simple as a whole, as it only works with the brightness of your screen, thus adding certain parameters such as hue or contrast would significantly increase its usability.
