Toggle + Location Agnostic Setup Link to heading

Create/edit the file ~/.config/redshift.conf, set temp-day and temp-night to the same value. lat and lon can be set randomly as it doesn’t matter. Example:

[redshift]
temp-day=3500
temp-night=3500
fade=0
transition=0
location-provider=manual

[manual]
lat=48.864716
lon=2.349014

Set startup to run redshift. Enable toggle with pkill -USR1 '^redshift$', bind it to a hotkey.

Note: the path .config/redshift/redshift.conf does not work in Ubuntu.

Manual Usage Link to heading

With Redshift, you can set brightness level lower than the minumum.

  • -O Temperature level (lower = warmer, higher = cooler)
  • -b Brightness level (0 - 1)

redshift -oP -O 3500 -b .5

Note that calling xrandr on its own will cancel any redshift effect. The -P option of redshift also resets the screen brightness and color instead of incrementally superimposing adjustments.
