Redshift or other screen temp

New features which should be implemented in Porteus; suggestions are welcome. All questions or problems with testing releases (alpha, beta, or rc) should go in their relevant thread here, rather than the Bug Reports section.

But I have other things to concern about more pressing, so I might be able to do the fine tuning much later today, but most likely it will take me a few days.
LOL, a few days turned into a few months.
The issue is, why is there no uniform way addressing colour temperature, so that one setting e.g. 4500k translates into the very same colour temperature, regardless what software you use.

While using a simple xrandr script would free some meagre system resources, for now redshiftgui works as I want it, so I keep it for now.

The only issue that I mentioned somewhere is a bug in its settings file.
I even created an empty file that explains the issue to me:

Code: Select all

/home/guest/.redshiftgrc_map_needs_to_be_comma-separated_instead_of_|-separated
:D Because redshiftgui will write its settings as "|-separated", so you have to exit is, correct its map settings manually to be comma-separated and start redshiftgui anew.
Cheers!
