redshift vs gammastep

redshift

Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night. (by jonls)

Conversion from tm struct and String into time_t

Redshift has code to calculate that locally which I use in my sunrise light project
Does XFCE have a night light?
1 project | /r/xfce | 20 May 2023

FWIW, Linux Mint XFCE comes with Redshift.

1 project | /r/windows7 | 15 Apr 2023

Other options include f.lux and redshift.

There is Redshift: https://github.com/jonls/redshift
How do you build circuits?
2 projects | /r/ElectricalEngineering | 7 Apr 2023

eg for this project my available inputs were intermittent 12v power, bluetooth, and the current time and location; and the desired output was 3× high current low-side switches that produced 12v RGB PWM corresponding to the colour temperature and brightness of the sky - so we need a bluetooth microcontroller, battery backup to keep time when 12v is absent, some battery management which wanted 5v in, a 12v buck to feed it, some MOSFETs, and redshift or similar code to plug into things.
How can I use an Arduino board to control LEDs so it imitates the sunlight color temperature throughout the day?
2 projects | /r/arduino | 28 Feb 2023

I just added redshift as a submodule to handle the GPS location + UTC time to color temperature conversion.
what's the alternative for linux like F.lux for windows for yellow light and brightness for screen?
1 project | /r/linux4noobs | 27 Feb 2023

But I still use redshift and prefer it over f.lux. I am on cell and this is first result so double check https://github.com/jonls/redshift
Linux (Debian) equivalent of DimScreen on Windows or MonitorControl on MacOS?
4 projects | /r/raspberry_pi | 29 Jan 2023

Anyway, for dimming screens with overlays (or gamma alteration), Redshift seems to have a -b option.
How do you even install redshit on windows ? (screen temp program)
1 project | /r/pcmasterrace | 28 Jan 2023

The instructions are super confusing to me. Here's the github :https://github.com/jonls/redshift

I use gammastep for night light.
Thank you guys for the amazing work ! League working flawlessly with the updated lutris script.
3 projects | /r/leagueoflinux | 12 Apr 2023

It might be because you're on Wayland. If so, try gammastep.
can someone help me find this file?

The gammastep package was orphaned last year and could use an update

How about gammastep? Or wlsunset?
Why is Wayland the way that it is
7 projects | /r/archlinux | 21 Sep 2021

WLR Gamma Control was added to the protocol last year; I have no idea how mature you need this to be but at the very least things like gammastep exist.
