White Shadow?
I am a window person. I need to get some sense of travel, rather than just departing and arriving.
When told to put the window blind down, I creep it up from the bottom and, when I want to look out, hunch over it to obscure the light from others. When sitting back in my seat, I just nudge it up, so that there is a narrow stream of light coming in.
After some time, when the neighbours are asleep - I creep it up some more!!
It is alwasy good when they put the cabin lights out for t/o or landing, so that you can get a good night time view of whatever is out of the window. Even cloud is good!
So - power to your elbow, Noah, join the revolution.
