Red Mode / Night Mode on iPad

[DaveWaltersAus]

Maybe I'm a "gumbie" and this is old news to old salts but I've been trying to do this for two years.

I was gonna buy some red cellophane to put over my iPad when I stumbled across a link solving all my problems with a higher tech solution.

On my iPad I went to
Settings, General, Accessability, Display Accommodations, Colour Filters, (turn them on) , Colour Tint - then slide intensity to max.

Voila - red iPad display. But wait, there's more.

Go back one screen and by reducing "White Point" by 100% you can make the display much dimmer than normal dimming.

Further good news,

Go back to Accessibility main screen and scroll to the bottom to select "Accessability Shortcut". Tick (check) the boxes for "Invert Colours", "Colour Filters" and "White Point".

You're done. If you're in Navionics or your preferred app, you can now "Triple Click" the home button to bring up these options quickly.
"Colour Filters" makes it red
"Reduce White Point" makes it super dim
"Invert Colours" switches the white chart background to black. Nice.

Sadly the "Invert Colours" thing only works on my iPad. On my iPhone it's no longer red but that's ok - it's awesome on the iPad!

My wife is laughing at me because I think it's so cool - I had to tell someone who might appreciate it so I finally signed up on this forum! I hope it helps!!
