I admit, I'm still getting used to Linux Mint and currently new to console usage, so for now I will use this version instead of the one through github. On the bright side, 1) it still works and 2) I don't see it being a big target for security vulnerability (I hope). Anyway, thank you for the great application! It's so simplified.

Linux Mint 22 , Cinnamon 6.2.9 , Kernel 6.8.0-47-generic . Installed it running curl command . But when tweaking the temperature it doesnot works/hold the settings . It works like for only 1 second and come back to original color what I have by default . Please help me with this .

It doesnot the tweakings . for example when I tweak the temperature it just works for 0.5 second and come back to original color what I have . please help with this

Simple. Effictive. Amazing!

Just asking out of curiosity: why not add the new actively maintained version as the default download of this applet?

Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, Cinnemon-Vers6.0.4, Kernel 5.15.0-119-generic Thank you very much for a small programme that solves a long problem. I just don't understand why the Mint developers didn't react to this a long time ago. It caused me a lot of trouble, but now everything is great. Many thanks again. Unfortunately the programme is hard to find in the forest of solutions. Maybe you can publicise it better.

Work well on mint 22, cinnamon 6.2 version from spice ou curl command. is it possible to add an option to not display qredshift icon on the task bar?

It didnt worked for me. Tried applet, Used curl, changed the nigh temp color, no change in monitor color, manually updated the location etc.. I am using Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, kernel 6.8.0-41-generic. Laptop model is dell 5490, Intel i5-8350U. Integrated graphic.

I tried to install using the curl command and I get an error on my terminal saying '=> You not running Cinnamon' what does this mean?

me e instalado qredshift y la verdad es muy bueno, muy facil de usar. la luz nocturna perfecta para linux mint, deberia venir por defecto en la version 22

Great functionality but unfortunately if I try to adjust the color temp while Enabled, the screen goes black and I have to restart. Otherwise the app is great but this borders on dealbreaker.

---- THE APPLET HERE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED BY ME ---- If you want the latest version maintained by me you can install with this command: `curl https://github.com/raphaelquintao/QRedshiftCinnamon/raw/master/install.sh -sSfL | bash`

"Location" works again; applet works nicely again; thank you very much. So if you are not maintaining QRedshift anymore, what am I downloading if I follow your link? Is QRedshiftCinnamon the new QRedshift? Or does this mean the current version of QRedshift here will be the final version; with no further updates?

Please reimplement Location. It needs to be possible to set Start TIme and End Time to be local sunset and sunrise respectively. Otherwise it will be obnoxious to have to manually adjust these settings throughout the year. Losing this feature would motivate me to uninstall QRedshift and look for a better option.

It appears that following the update, only one of my monitors is receiving the blue light filter. The other (primary) monitor remains unfiltered no matter what settings I use. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not resolve the issue. On Kernel 6.5.0-41, nvidia 535.183.01, x11

After the latest update the "Location" tab is gone; the applet apparently only uses the start time to switch from day to night. This is of course useless, since I would continually need to update the time settings over the year. What happened to the location settings; or what am I missing here? Regards, Oliver.

It's the greatest applet so far — it is my favorite. But due to some updates, it no longer works. I'm leaving a comment in the hope that it will work again. In fact, it will work again. ^_^

The applet works great, but the sudden day-night changes are unpleasant to the eye. It'd be much nicer if there was a specifyable interval during which the applet gradually transitions between night and day.

must have applet

Second @Markus

I also confirm what @Markus has said

Hello Raphael, after the last update a message appear which says that cinnamon is not able to start an applet. In Looking Glass i found the folowing error message: error t=2024-01-16T11:08:59Z [qredshift@quintao]: Meta.is_wayland_compositor is not a function [qredshift@quintao]: Failed to load applet: qredshift@quintao/14 error t=2024-01-16T11:08:59Z [qredshift@quintao]: Applet qredshift@quintao: Could not create applet object. [qredshift@quintao]: Error importing applet.js from qredshift@quintao QRedshift seems to work normal, but on every system startup the message mentioned above is shown. OS: Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon

It works just fine. But with Cinnamon on Wayland it will not work. When i change adjusment to "Wayland" the whole system freez and crash. Should be nice it will support also Cinnamon on Wayland! :)

Hi! Suddenly Qredshift it stopped working, I already tried to uninstall and reinstall, but still it doesn't work. Any help?

Could this work on XFCE?

Great applet:) This is what I was looking for :) Thank you so match! :)

On Manjaro Linux it shows the "redshift-gtk should be removed" warning, but only "redshift" package is installed.

excellent applet protects my eyes thanks to the developer.

works, Arch Linux sudo pacman -S redshift :)

Thank you so much !!

wonderful! so glad to have control over the color temp

Thanks for saving my eyes.

thank you very much, it's very good. (muchas gracias, es muy bueno).

Works perfect, way better than the default implementation on mint, definitely filled the F.lux gap from leaving windows behind (good riddance). You can easily set some keybindings to turn it on/off, and change pretty much any setting on the fly.

This is amazing! It would be even better if there was an option to suspend for X minutes.

Nice. I've been using the command line until now because redshift-gtk didn't work on my laptop.

I have a setup with 2 monitors and in Linux Mint 19.x it worked flawless. Only the main monitor got red-shifted. But now i'm on Mint 20.x and only both monitors get red-shifted! I copied base.conf to the new folder but that did not work. I removed redshift-gtk but that also did not work. When i use on the cmdline "redshift -x -t 5700:4700 -g 0.8 -o -m vidmode:screen=0" then only the main monitor gets shifted, and with an additional "-P" it goes back to normal. I also have the line "vidmode:screen=0" in base.conf, but it looks like it does not read that file... What can i do so only the primary screen gets shifted??

LM 20.1 and Cinnamon 4.8.6 : This Applets still appear with a warning message about potential freezes. Cinnamon crashes the last week twice I uninstall the applet and replace it. But I like it and I wan´t to have a proper update for Cinnamon 4.x... is it possible? THX.

Hello and thank you for this applet. I've been using this applet for a while now and I just had problem with it recently which of course got solved when I updated it to the 1.7.0 version. But yet there is an option I wish the applet had and that's a reset button to change all the settings to default ones. After messing around with the options I no longer remember the original settings and sometimes I have to disable the applet (especially in the day mode) to get the natural look of the monitor again.

I've only been using Linux Mint on my laptop for a few weeks. One of the first programs I installed was QRedshift. I really like the program, but I have a problem: when I set the autoupdate interval to 20 seconds, I have a short jerk every 20 seconds in all videos (Youtube, Vimeo, Kodi). It took quite a long time to figure out that QRedshift is the cause. What exactly is the update interval? What exactly is being updated?

Hi, in one of the latest updates this started to happen: If "Use symbolic icon" is switched on, the "normal" (red) icon blinks instead of the symbolic one every time the applet updates (so in the interval of "Update interval (Sec.)"). It would be nice to have this fixed. Thank you!

Dear Raphael Quintao, Thanks a lot for this great application, since I use it, I can't do without. I did an update of the latest version (1.5.4 (2021-02-24 22:37:53) yesterday and observed a bug since the update : first method: changing manually "temp" or "bright" cursors with lclick on mouse, slip and release mouse does not change temp nor bright. After moving the cursor this way, temp or bright are change only after performing a "reload applet" but, second method, changing manually "temp" or "bright" cursors by left clicking directly on the cursor bar works to the condition the first method as not been tried before. This bug occurs only since the version 1.5.4, and occurs either with day or night cursors. I did not change any options before and after the update. Thanks a lot If you could fix this bug, because I love Qredshift. My Cinnamon version is 4.8.6, under Mint LMDE 4 Debbie distribution (Debian 10). best regards, Didier

What would it take to bring this applet to Mate Desktop? Or at least: is it possible to add to the applet that already exists in Mate (redshift-gtk) the functionality to change the values with the mouse wheel? (Sorry for the possible ignorance, I am not a programmer).

Thanks for your applet. There are problems with the how the applet is described within the Cinnamon 'download' window. To wit: there is a '.n' instead of a space; there is a missing space; the comma in ', make sure you remove it' is ungrammatical; and the 'it' within that phrase is slightly ambiguous.

Under my view is the best Redshift GUI configuration applet ! It seems it works fine in LM 20 with Cinnamon 4.6.7. (till now). The only ( and very important one ) feedback is that installed in LM 20 appear as an applet that can cause Cinnamon to crash ! It is really not possible to update it to the Cinnamon Version 4.6.7 ?

Sadly, the filter disappears and the whole screen flashes when another applet is added to the same panel, or an applet is moved. Very distracting. The ability to specify temperatures is what's keeping me from using (non-Q) Redshift.

Thank you very much for this great applet but please consider removing default keyboard shortcuts as they are system-wide! It takes me ages (see https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=334381) to realize why Ctrl + PageUp stopped working... Thanks! :)

Debian with Cinnamon 4.6.7 works just fine. Russian translation would be appreciated.

Applet doesn't work on Mint 20. I've removed redshift-gtk and I still get the error about the conflict between gtk and qredshift

Thanks for the great App. I changed settings-schema.json and applet.js on my machine to have always steps of 10 for the brightness (with keyboard and mouse). Seems a better choice to me then increments of only 1.

What’s the theme in the background of the screenshot?

I have a sugest, when you set in night mode and try to adjust using scroll, moves the day config, and dont make any change in the actual mode. i really like your app!

any possibility to have this awesome applet work across dual monitors?

Looks like it's not compatible with the current version of Cinnamon on Manjaro (4.6.2). "error t=2020-06-01T22:01:20Z [qredshift@quintao]: Extension is not compatible with current Cinnamon version"

Nicely done, thank you!

Why do we have TWO redshifts?

Dang typo I cant fix down there. I meant I have NO keyboard buttons for brightness.

I spent hours searching for a good way to adjust screen brightness using an applet (I have to keyboard buttons for brightness) and this was the best (only really) option I found, so thank you so much for giving me brightness controls in an applet and giving redshift all the options I love it! Thanks team!

Thank you very much for this applet, it is far better than what comes with default in Linux Mint 19 and makes it easy to adjust the options. I hope it you keep it updated so that it works with the subsequent Cinnamon and Linux Mint releases. Thanks a lot again and take care :)

Nice. I appreciate having the option to dim the screen (good when I need to disable my dark theme) at the touch of a brightness key on the keyboard and scroll to fine tune it. No need for night settings, or location, turned that off. Nice options... I also disagree that automatic adjustments are really a good idea given that most of us use our machines indoors where lighting is pretty constant (e.g curtains closed lights on, or curtains open daytime - requiring a simple switch)... however, people do like fancy automated settings despite not using a sensor to detect the environment.

amazing thank you! so far I've done it all via terminal. would like to donate a little bit for your effort. now most perfect would be if we were able to adjust the values automatically accordingly to a given time.

I like it. Please add the ability to use a symbolic icon instead of the red icon though.

QRedshift is a really great applet! Thank you so much for it! Unfortunately it works only on one monitor for me. When I enter e.g. "redshift -O 3500 -b 0.8" in the normal command-line, both monitors are redshifted and darker. But with the applet only one. I'm using Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon with two 4K-monitors from LG. Connected by Displayport-Cables. My graphics-card is Intel UHD Graphics 630. I really hope, you can fix that. Thank you!

Itś working great on Manjaro. The UI is really cool too. Props.

It's great applet! Really helps during work at evening and night. Unfortunately I'm unable to launch applet since last it's update (I guess from 1.4 to 1.5) - only got message "Something went wrong while loading, report issue to its developer". I'm using Linux Mint 19.3 with Cinnamon 4.4.8.

I came here to give it a star. Thanks redshift :D

Fabulous applet! A must have! Thank you, Raphael, for our eyes.

It's a must have app! Especially if you want to use the laptop in bed with low lighting. Unfortunatelly it stopped working after mint upgrade to 19.3 Cinnamon 4.4.5

Correction. Does not work in Cinnamon 4.2.4

Work great and, yes, the icon it's a lot bigger than the icons of other applets.

This applet is awesome, thanks. I'd just like to request, if possible, to implement scaling to the icon. It's a lot bigger than the icons of other applets and I didn't found a way to resize it (the options in panel settings resize the other applets but not QRedshift).

work great
