i thought earthle only works if you're viewing through a CRT.
wait, let me rephrase: it is my belief that earthle only works if you're viewing through a CRT. with LCDs, you're better off just reducing the brightness of your monitor. |

QUOTE(synkiro @ Mar 8 2009, 06:29 AM)  i thought earthle only works if you're viewing through a CRT. just by using the site instead of google is how it works. It's the black background and dark colors that make it work. go read about it here http://www.earthle.com/about/ |

read my edit.
with LCDs, the backlight is always on, and the difference between black and white pixels is significantly less than that of the pixels on a CRT. therefore, you are better off just setting the default brightness lower so that each pixel, black or white, would consume less energy. besides, when you're searching through a search engine, i'm pretty sure you're only at that search page for a short amount of time. we're spending more of our time here on createblog, blasting "white" pixels than we do on google atm. |

I think Jusun took them down when he showed up back in January or whenever it was, because they weren't completely coded when he first launched them. However, you can still pick which skin to use on your CB profile. |

Honestly, probably not. But, I do what I can on a daily basis to try and conserve energy. "Or you can vote global warming by leaving your lights on" is kind of a douched thing to say
