If you don't want to be affected by it you can turn it off. Read THIS thread for more info.
as i said i am using wildebloods oxz to turn it off... personally i think the glare is wrong. glare is from light diffused by particles. now there is dust in space but not anywhere near enough for this sort of glare inside a solar system... if you like it then leave it in .. whatever floats your boat....

Old geezer. Amiga veteran. Love the stuff the youngers have done with such a beautiful concept.
We live on a small farm, chickens, geese, ducks and too many predators. My wife quilts and I build replicas of flintlock rifles. Sound like country hicks?..lol.. ..the house is wired for WiFi, backup generators, hobby grade quads flying in the barnyard during summer... Old age has it's advantages.

Diziet; Not linux. I play on a separate PC that is never online but comm online with an old Emac. I always play games under one of three names; Emp Penguin, KingS**t or Prince Flatus. Yes, you may call me "Your Flatulence" Having a good time with Assassins.

Well indeed, new people are always welcome to this small backwater of the internet we like to call home.

Quilting eh? My mother in law quilts (very nice lady, we get along very well indeed) I work more with chainmaille which is a little heavy for quilting. :D
