MYK-IT Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I am after recommendations for a suitable Screen Tint software (free or otherwise) that is compatible and easily usable (and deployable) on Windows 7+ Computers. We have tested a 'free' version of one, but it is limited to only working within MS Office applications, but not through certain web browsers etc. Thanks. Edited September 25, 2014 by MYK-IT
synaesthesia Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Not directly answering your question (interested myself) but a couple of dyslexic members of staff have asked about fonts and themes for their browser. OpenDyslexic theme for Chrome works quite well!
RichCowell Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I could have done with this years ago when my eyes were sensitive and I had to wear tinted lenses, which were awkward with screens... not used it myself, but just Googled and found this - TintMy Screen | Software to improve your reading performance
Hallamski Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 f.lux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that might do it
allen10 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 SSOverlay part of the MyStudyApps suite from dyslexia lincolnshire is very easy to use, you literally run the executable and adjust the colour and intensity to suit from the icon in the notification area.
synaesthesia Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Oh that is *awful*. Barely any of it works and the Sonar thing just locks the mouse out! Shame, it looked rather useful.
localzuk Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Do you have Intel graphics drivers? They have the capability of changing screen tint through the utility that comes with it.
penfold Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Not directly answering your question (interested myself) but a couple of dyslexic members of staff have asked about fonts and themes for their browser. OpenDyslexic theme for Chrome works quite well! You could take a look at the Better living through tech website, I've had a quick look and the information is a bit basic, but generally that is what you want when you are making changes for end users...the less complicated the better. I've also used Screen Tinter light which I think was freeware and just used change the background colour of your applications but that was a few years ago now and I don't know if has been updated. From a bought product I've used Text Help Read & Write, but that might be a bit overkill for just a basic screen tinting software. 1
elsiegee40 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Have you tried ScreenTinter? http://www.bltt.org/software/screentinterlite/index.htm
CamelMan Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Have you tried ScreenTinter? Screen Tinter Lite +1 thats what I used.
pete Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I've just gone round the houses doing this and we've picked ssOverlay since it actually tints the whole screen. The others just make it easier to fiddle with windows themes, which most apps ignore with regard to colour palette. 1
