Hey, you guys out there still using Windows 7...
I have to say, one of the things I found pleasing about Windows 10 Creator was this Night Light Setting

iPhone and iPad users might recognize this functionality as well with the Night Shift feature.

My desktop displays are uncomfortably bright and blue in the evening hours, so while in the process of a fresh OS load on my home office computer, I was looking for a way to do something similar with Windows 7, because, yes, even though 10 is growing on me, I still primarily prefer 7.

I found a couple of programs for this: f.lux and Iris
Both are free. Iris offers additional functionality for a $10 purchase.
There are some others out there as well.

f.lux is also available for Android, but the device has to be rooted for it to work.

    yeah, it's pretty neat.
    f.lux starts to engage automatically based on the sunrise/sunset for a particular location, making subtle changes, removing more blue and dimming further as the night goes on. All customizable.
