From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just a little bit maybe XD
and the outside temperature as well. lol
I was like "redshift already turns on and off automatically" then it clicked what this does. Pretty nice.
Do you have plans to make it able to adjust automatically based on sunset? Or interface with something like home assistant to read light sensor data?
Haha thanks! I don’t think so, no, at least not with this tool directly. But what you can do is build on top of it, since the points are stored in a config.json. Code that reads a light sensor value could then edit the graph by updating that config.
Gammastep, which is an wlroots alternative to redshift, supports the sunset stuff. It lacks this nice gui though.
Is this similar to the built in KDE night light?
Yes very similar, but I dont think you can have more than 2 points there? Here you can set as many points as you want and it calculates a Catmull-Rom curve.
That's cool
Can you adjust separate curves for red, green and blue?
Nope, currently just temperature. But it can definitely be added, since redshift supports it.
That would be a powerful feature and a very user-friendly way of creating what are essentially custom monitor profiles. It has my vote!
Nice! You should put a LICENSE file in your repo with the MIT license inside (Cargo.toml has the license key, but you really should have a file in your repo too)
Thanks for the reminder! Just added it.
