I like your program, as a dev I frequently work at night times.
However, would it be possible to offer a setting for brightness instead of colorshift?

I like the ability to control screen brightness on my laptop, just by pressing Fn+F keys. It offers great comfort at night, without sacrifying colors.
Something similar could be done on desktop monitor, offering the user to lower the gamma perhaps?

This is a very helpful application.. but is not working for me in KDE - Kubuntu 12.04.. hopefully it will be resolved soon.

Nice one - thank you very much for making this - loved f.lux on my ubuntu 10.10 - but after upgrading to 12.04 was out on a limb until I found this. Cheers!

Yes, this is supported in the development version. For now you will have to compile the program yourself to get this feature. It will be in the next release.

Hi Jon, Having installed and tried a few different settings; is there a way to shift the brightness as well as the temperature? Ideally I think I'd have my computer just so damn dim at night that I shutdown and get some sleep. Something like:

gtk-redshift -l 55:-1.6 -t 6500:3000 -b 1:0.3

Noting that -b is taking a "double" value in the same way as -t

Also, wrote a blog post on redshift, kudos - oodavid.tumblr.com

Quite easily as southern lat and western long are negative numbers whereas the other direction is positive.

For the -l tag, I don't see how to differentiate N vs S for latitude and E vs W for longitude. For a latitude of 45:122 I could be in the western U.S. or in China depending on whether the 122 is W or E.

Hey Jon, This looks great. I've always loved the freedom of the original settlers and every few years I go back to it. I hope you or someone else finds the time to finish this.

I get a segfault whenever I try to run redshift:

(process:9307): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failedSegmentation fault

Could this be display manager related? I'm on LXDE (Lubuntu 11.04) but I wouldn't think that would matter.

EDIT: Didn't have geoclue installed! Whoops.

With Ubuntu and Linux Mint, location can be set in
~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/clock/prefs/%gconf.xml

Could redshift use this? or more generally, current time, timezone and perhaps LANG?

Compiz negative plugin works fine for me for such purposes.

Man, you've saved my eyes. Re-entered flattr to donate, the whole monthly fee goes to you. I can't repay you enough, but it's at least something.

My eyes are very thankful for Redshift!

Yes, you can disable transitions with -r or you can disable them in the configuration file.

Justin Joseph — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:40:01 -0000

Hi,
In Gnome 3, if I login to the system at night, it takes for ever to change the color of the screen. This delays the entire login process. Is it possible to have the initial transition at once instead of as a smooth/long process?

Hi, I've made a version available for windows: http://db.tt/CJKwZXWb . See also the info above on the page. If you're using linux you'll have to build it yourself.

You are right. Thanks for your understanding and patience. I promise i will be quit from now on :)

I found out that seperate configuration for day and night doesn't work yet but i could set the brightness by "brightness=value" line. This value can be 0.1 to 1.0.

Re: Redshift 1.6 released

Jon Lund Steffensen — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:16:10 -0000

IIRC the brightness-day/night feature was introduced after the last release (1.7). You'll have to compile redshift yourself, or wait for the next release.

Re: Redshift 1.6 released

Baran Karabulut — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:11:23 -0000

I have added the configuration file following lines

brightness-day=0.7
brightness-night=0.4

but it doesn't work, response i get is
"Unknown configuration setting "brightness-day"
"Unknown configuration setting "brightness-night"

Re: Redshift 1.6 released

Baran Karabulut — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:35:51 -0000

Where can i find information about building a configuration file like that ? I see there is no manual but if you can write an example like that there should be somewhere to lookup. As a note; i am not a coder, and i don't know any computer languages, but it shouldn't be that hard to write a configuration file right ?

Edit: I was being impatient :) The answer to that question is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/red...

Re: Windows gamma adjustments

Jon Lund Steffensen — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:49:55 -0000

Thanks for your suggestion. I agree that the directions can be hard to follow, problem is that I'm using what I believe to be the standard terminology. What you call a "dword" is actually called a key, but the "folders" are actually also called keys. Anyway, the REG-file is available now and that should be enough to specify exactly what's needed to get this working.

Feel free to write a GUI if you need one. I rarely use Windows these days, so I don't really have a need for one.
