i've recently started using f.lux [1], which adjusts the color temperature of the screen based on the time. after a night of coding, i've noticed i've been able to fall asleep more quickly, probably since my eyes adjust to the ambient warm light in the room while coding.<p>[1] <a href="http://stereopsis.com/flux/" rel="nofollow">http://stereopsis.com/flux/</a>
What about Nocturne (from the Quicksilver guys: <a href="http://www.blacktree.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blacktree.com/</a> )?<p>Or even simpler, ctrl-alt-cmd-8?
This is interesting. I've come to love Solarized, and switch between the two depending on day and night.<p><a href="http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized" rel="nofollow">http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized</a><p>In iTerm2 I mapped the lighter theme to CTRL-CMD-L and the dark theme to CTRL-CMD-D. I am sure there is a quick way to change the default theme as well, though I haven't really tried too hard.
