    Night Mode

    This may fall under my request for some HPTuners 'skins', but a good dark screen setup option would be very nice. I doubt I'm the only one who logs late at night to try and disturb the peace as little as possible, and the glaring white of the scanner interface can make adjusting your eyes tough...and I'm not even presbyopic yet. I'm sure this is a bigger issue for the middle-aged guys.

    Not a huge deal, but something that would help tweak this software even further.

    You can turn down the brightness of your screen on your laptop quite a bit. Maybe this will help.

    I have a day and night set-up (called themes in XP) stored in the display page and color management section . It helps, especially, since I too do a lot of night scanning. There is a lot less traffic, you know how us middle-aged guys are! It's tough to hit 200 with all those children playing in the street ;D ;D ;D

    True, you can also have a black background and minimize the scanner...but both of these are flawed options, because you will have less ability to see your data being scanned.

    If we're looking to make HPTuners the best, a genuine night mode would be best.
