Easily adjust the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings with the help of this simple command-line utility. #Color temperature #Gamma ramp #Color tweaker #Color #Temperature #Tweaker
Spending significant periods of time working on your computer might subject your eyes to high levels of stress, due to the brightness, contrast and light radiation from your monitor.
However, it is possible that you can counter some of these side-effects by turning to specialized software solutions, such as Redshift.
Since this program cannot be run outside of Windows' Command Prompt, it does not feature a Graphical User Interface (GUI) nor interactive features. The lack of a GUI can be disconcerting for many users, that might find it difficult to benefit from its capabilities.
However, despite its low flexibility, it provides you with a brief description of its core functions by including the '-h' argument while executing it.
Redshift enables you to adjust the brightness and temperature of your screen depending on the current time, thus reducing the harmful effects your monitor might inflict upon your eyes.
You just need to set your coordinates by either relying on an automatic location service or by inputting them manually with the '-l' argument. After doing so, the application uses the information you provided to adjust your screen temperature and brightness automatically, according to your time zone.
Instead of manually customizing the application's parameters each time you execute it, it is also possible to create an external file that contains your desired parameters and load it from the application. Doing so is possible by including the '-c' argument along with the filename while executing the utility.
To sum it up, Redshift is a handy command line application that can automatically adjust your screen temperature and brightness based on your current location. It features no help documentation, but it allows you to access a list of its functions along with a brief explanation for each item.
What's new in Redshift 1.12:
- Change location providers to allow updates. GeoClue and CoreLocation now provide continuous location updates.
- Allow time-based configuration i.e. setting the redness effect based on time of day instead of based on the elevation of the sun. See the man page for more information.
- Now looks for the configuration file in ~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf (or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/redshift/redshift.conf) if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set. The old location at ~/.config/redshift.conf is deprecated but still searched as a fall back.
- Run hooks when enabling/disabling Redshift.
