gravity darkening and habitable planets?

[varek]

Please forgive my use, here, of one source, but would gravity darkening, or von Zeipel's theorem, cause the space near an Altair-type star to be cooler? If so, would it allow life to exist on a planet close to that star's equator?

If it would, then perhaps we could look for habitable exoplanets in places like that.
