Hi Tim,

Einhugur's GammaLib (<http://www.einhugur.com/>) does what you need. It's what I use in DarkAdapted (<http://www.adpartnership.net/ DarkAdapted/>) which is in use my many an astronomer and planetarium director.

I believe Astroplanner uses this, as well, and I know that my own ScopeDriver (<http://www.adpartnership.net/ScopeDriver/>) uses GammaLib extensively.

It works great on Mac OS, but it's kind of hit-or-miss on Windows systems. Some users report full success, others have some success, and it doesn't work at all of some Win32 systems.

Hi Folks,

Has anyone experimented with (or succeeded :) ) changing control color schemes? I'm working on a side-project that will be used by Amateur Astronomers and I need to be able to shift to a red-scale color scheme (think Logic or Pro Tools' grey-blue palette, but in reds). For night-vision retention while using a computer, the user either must put a dark red film over the LCD, or the app should have a red mode. So far, my attempts have been less than successful as there's always a white or light grey peeking out from somewhere. The brightest shade used would be &cB0464A.

(BTW) this is why i've discovered the Color Picker crash so readily today :( .

Any tips on going all red?

Tim
