I "Quoted" wrong post (fixed). I have problem with GC not switching skins in RR on startup (not from hibernation).

Hello guys !

I found very strange bug in Gamma 2.4, but maybe I am just wrong in some setings. So I am under RR and Free Drive. I am using Gamma with automatic day and night settings by GPS coordinates. Everything works just fne with my Gamma settings (let's say around 7pm it switch gamma to night and in the morning around 7am to day gamma. If this change happens during I am in my car - I can see how my screen staying more or less brighter - it is ok. And also if my FD is running the Gamma will automaticly change day or night skin in Free drive. But if let's say last time I started carputer was day and shut it down during the day (FD keeps day skin) if I start it during the night - gamma will switch brightness of the screen correctly BUT FD will stay in day skin I checked the box Change modes in FD in Gamma Control Config but still nothing How to ask Gamma to switch skins in FD doesnot matter what time I am turning it on (I want my screen in FD to be always on time of the day or night)
Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english.

I'm tired of having to adjust my LCD brightness twice a day. Someone ought to write a program... ah, you have. THanks.

0l33l, your program rocks.

I suppose I can always make suggestions. :P ... is there some sort of gamma setting that can make my screen look like this to preserve my night vision?

There's entire application suites like this out there that have "night-mode" enablers, but they're proprietary million-dollar public safety systems for police/ambulance/fire... ! Yours is the closest I can find to anything like that!

This is so wonderful. Love it. The new gammaControl Config v1.8 is so easy to use my mom can handle it. I really appreciate your work on this one. Easy to use and works just fine. (Use it only to change gamma on my main screen).

Want to give some extra credit to the "AutoDimming" future. I set it to only be activated during night mode. And it gives me the possibility to dim the screen very dark at night time. Just touch the screen and it gets a little brighter, so i can see it a bit better and it fades back in a couple of seconds to almost pitch dark. VERY useful when you drive so much at night as i do.

I have one question. Would it be hard for you to make it talk to the GPS unit? So it can some how see LAT and LON itself? The reason for the question/request is that when you drive "big trucks" across Europe. Sunset/rise varies pretty much. A Trip can go from Norway to itally or even longer sometimes.

Again. Grate work and thank you for your effort.

Wonderful

What about if you make it grab/listen for info directly from a com port! Isn't the data from the different GPS units similar? Then all we need is to use a com port splitter (as most of us already use i guess) and a option in the config?
