So I just tried the Nocturne app on my Mac and had bit of feedback.
Not sure if this is the right place since it's the Quicksilver forum,
but I didn't see any other forums available on the site.
It seems like many of the settings in Nocturne only work on one
display at a time. I have an iMac with a second Dell Monitor
attached.
The following work on both screens: Invert Screen, Monochrome
Everything else only works on the screen that the window is currently
on. So if it's on the main display, it will hide the background on
the main display. If I move it to the other one and I uncheck and
recheck Hide Background, it will hide it on the secondary display but
not on the main display. So there's no way to get it to hide the
display on both screens.
The commands that only work on one screen at a time: Hide background,
brightness, tint, invert hue,
Nocturne is a really awesome app. Hope the next update can get it
working on both screens!

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention, it'd be really handy to be
able to flip between day/night mode through a keyboard shortcut.
Anyone know if there's a way I could do that with the current version
through Quicksilver or something?
Thanks!

While nocturne is open, if you open it again using QS (and perhaps
using any technique), it will change to night. A third opening will
change it to day again. As for the two monitors problem, that sounds
like a bug.

Cool, thanks for the tip. Works perfectly.
And for the bug, is there an issue tracker set up for Nocturne and the
other non-quicksilver apps? Or is mentioning it here good enough to
let the developer know?

Hey, I just thought to mention that it seems that the cursor issue
with Carbon apps is gone.(Apple fixed it??) I just decided to try
nocturne again after a while and I can see my cursor in Eclipse now.
I'm a very happy camper!
