Cool Tools: Dark Room
Are you having a hard time writing because of all the clutter in your desktop, or maybe the persistent messengers you have installed? If this is your problem, then Dark Room might be for you. Contrary to what the name suggests, it’s not a photography tool.
Created with the sole purpose of providing a writing environment sans the distractions, Dark Room is all about you and what you are writing. No frills, no fancy stuff, it’s just you, a dark background and the text you are writing. The features available with Dark Room are the most basic ones found on other text editors. It starts up on full screen, hiding everything in your desktop and relieving you of almost anything that can distract your writing sessions.
Personally, it works for me as I used to get distracted with random surfing, instant messenger conversations, etc.
If the neon green text on a black background puts you off (as it did with me), you can change the background and font colors via the “Preferences” menu when you right-click on the Dark Room screen.
Dark Room is compatible with Windows XP, 2000, 2003 and requires the .NET 2.0 framework. Click here for the official site.
