So, a couple questions from an old fart coming back after a break.

Is there a way to up the brightness? I play in windowed fullscreen so I can dualbox but I don't seem to see an option for it.

Secondly, is there any official word on the use of SweetFX? If needs be I'd like to use it to boost the gamma in my game without having to edit my global brightness but I wanted to know if it was ok to use or not.

You can always adjust your desktop brightness through windows control panel

Yeah, I know that, but as I said I don't want to mess with my global setting just for the sake of Eve when everything else is at the right brightness. xD

I couldn't find an option in the ESC settings windows.

I agree that Eve seems darkly lit, but when I close Eve, I am always shocked by how glaringly bright the underlying Microsoft windows are. An option would be good (and you can suggest it in the features forum below), but maybe it will grow on you.

Everything I use is in a fairly dark theme to begin with so EVE doesnt really seem very dark :P
