While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

After trying various ways to reduce and redden the light from the
displays at our telescopes, I have written a small Visual Basic
application that changes Windows95/98 screen colors to dim red and
gray. In addition it allows you to hide the desktop icons (whose colors
can not be changed) and the taskbar. The app is available at
http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~oliver/niteview/
You may be able to download just the .exe file but if your system need
some of the Visual Basic support files you will have to download the
.zip package.

Note: NiteView is deliberately not set "Always on Top" but if it is
covered up by another app, altTab will bring up the items currently
running and you can then move to NiteView.
