NEW: Twilight Skin -- Changes With Time Of Day
lepa:
I agree that trigger for this would sit nicely on skin effect page as what it does is just setting brightness automatically and manual brightness is set there also
marko:
If you have a right click menu open at the time it does its auto update, the menu closes. Also, when the auto update happens, the whole MC interface does a refresh.
Both of these things will probably stop me using this feature. Too much potential for something 'not good' to happen whilst I'm working on file sets, tags, etc.
For example, I could enter a search to get at some files, and start working on those files, making changes that mean they no longer match the search. It's a wonderful thing that despite that, the files stay so I can complete whatever I'm doing. This forced refresh causes them to vanish midway through my work.
I was curious how this would work on a dark skin. Around ten years or more ago, I found this over at DeviantArt... https://www.deviantart.com/alexander234/art/Silent-Night-167394420
I've been tweaking it a bit, both to be more to my liking, and to make it look correct on today's MC, (without scaling support) so activated the auto brightness on it...
For me, late at night, it gets a bit too dark. It's attached if anyone else wants to try it.

Here's another side effect of Twilight...
This running on MC server PC, on 24/7, monitor set to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity... with me?
Yup, monitor is not sleeping!
JimH:
Here's what we settled on for now:
[Matt's description]
... the effect gets fully bright at sunrise (beginning the transition 30 minutes before), then starts to get dark at sunset and becomes
fully dark 30 minutes later.
[end Matt's description]
It is based on the default "Modern Cards: Grey Edition. We may try to add more skins later.
EnglishTiger:
I realised that the ET Lightness series of TrackInfo Plugins was not a very good match for usde with the Twilight Skin.
Since it is impossible to recreate the transitions that Twilight uses in the 30 minutes before Sunrise and Sunset in HTML, CSS or JavaScript.
I've done the next best thing and created a series of new ET TrackInfo Plugins based on 2 New Skin/Color Themes:-
ET GreyLight for use with Twilight between Sunrise and Sunset and ET GreyNight for use between Sunset and Sunrise.
