Invert Screen Colour

 The reason of this topic is started because as i am heavily reader, I read E-books (PDF, EPub) a lot “Save Paper Save Tree”, And on windows 7 OS its really simple to invert screen colour as video shows below.

So i Can read continues without maximum effects on eyes.
 Once i visit my cousin’s home he using Windows XP with 19″ wide screen when i try to read a pdf book more than an hrs my eyes gets heavy because of the brightness of the pdf files background and i tried to change colour setting, the colour invert option is not that simple. so as a lazy person first i try to find simple solution on web and after spent an hour on googling i found the best way to invert screen colour on XP OS using AutoHotKey (In This post we sort this AHK) software and a script created by Learning one” Thanks Buddy.

Those who Read A Lot on Computer this option is good for them.
