The kit is on your belt.

Gloamkit is installed and already armed in Auto. Nothing else is required. Four steps below get you from default to calibrated.

Run the checks See the dials
01

Pin the panel

Open the extensions menu in the toolbar and pin Gloamkit. The kit diamond stays in reach.

02

Learn the hotkeys

Alt Shift T master arm. Alt Shift S cut out the current site.

03

Reload open tabs

Tabs opened before install are not yet under the kit. Reload them once.

04

Set the window

Open module M3, arm the schedule, enter your dusk and dawn marks. Then forget it.

01

Reading the panel

Four modules, top to bottom. The bezel at the top is the master arm; everything below it is scoped to the site you are on.

Panel layout
BEZEL

Master arm

One switch for the whole kit. Armed means the mint lamp is lit and pages are being restyled. Standby leaves every page as its author shipped it, settings intact.

Alt + Shift + T
TARGET

Active domain

The hostname the panel is acting on, with a switch to cut that host out. Cut-outs are permanent until you switch them back — useful for design tools and colour-critical work.

Mode and dials

Pick Smart Dark, Auto or Smart Light, then trim brightness, contrast and sepia. Values are written against the current host the moment you release the needle.

Calibration notes

Starting points that work. Adjust from here, not from zero.

Bench

  • 02

    Dense documentation

    Smart Dark · brightness 95% · contrast 110% · sepia 0%. Keeps code blocks crisp.

  • 03

    Washed-out grey text

    Smart Light · brightness 104% · contrast 118%. Pulls thin type off the background.

    A page that will not behave

    Cut the host out with Alt Shift S. Everything else stays armed.

If something looks wrong

Known limits first, then where to send it.

Faults
Fault 01

Nothing changed

The tab was open before install — reload it. Browser-internal pages (chrome://, the Web Store) are protected by Chrome and cannot be restyled.

Fault 02

A panel went unreadable

Lift contrast first, then brightness. If one component is still wrong, cut the host out rather than fighting the dials.

Fault 03

The window did not fire

Check that M3 is armed and that dusk and dawn are both set. The kit uses the machine's local clock, so verify the system time zone.
