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

navaare-2 weeks ago

1)(radr only adjustment) Hit at terminal: xrandr 2)Copy signature of every next monitor to add Like HDMI-2 DP-2 printed on the screen 3)Find installation folder of your applet mine was ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/qredshift@quintao/applet.js 3) Open in any text editor applet.js after -> this.doCommand(cmd); following line for every next monitor: GLib.spawn_command_line_sync(`xrandr --output DP-2 --brightness ${this.opt.dayBrightness / 100} --gamma ${this.opt.gammaMix}:${this.opt.gammaMix}:${this.opt.gammaMix}`); 4) Click Reload applet 5) Now both monitors have gamma and brightness adjusting Colours are usually set fixed so make no sense to change it

Raphael Quintão-3 weeks ago

Try change the adjustment method.

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"

Raphael Quintão-1 month ago

Fixed in version 1.5.1

Nicely done, thank you!

Why do we have TWO redshifts?

Keith Brandenburg-2 months ago

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

Keith Brandenburg-2 months ago

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!

Surja Gain-2 months ago

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 :)

ben2talk-2 months ago

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.

skoufaki-2 months ago

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.

Raphael Quintão-1 month ago

Thanks! Now you can donate if you want. =D

Draconicrose-2 months ago

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

der-elektrotechniker-4 months ago

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!

William Da Silva-3 months ago

Try changing the "Adjustment Method" in the configurations menu. I had a similar problem, and setting the adjustment method to vidmode fixed it for me.

Alexander Sobyanin-3 weeks ago

Thank you, vidmode works and all screens's temperature changes, but I can't disable it. I can change the temperature to about the same values as disabled, but toggle doesn't work.

anantDD-2 months ago

Thanks. Solved my prolem too. :)

Andrés Del Carpio-4 months ago

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

spieriz-5 months ago

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.

Raphael Quintão-5 months ago

I tested here, with 4.4.8 and is all working fine. Try delete the config files.

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

claudiux-6 months ago

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

aroumeliotis-6 months ago

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

Raphael Quintão-6 months ago

Thanks ! What happens in that version?

aroumeliotis-6 months ago

It's apparently just a version compatibility issue. I just edited the json with the metadata to include cinnamon 4.4. The applet utility still has a notification saying that this app "contains function calls that could potentially cause cinnamon to crash", but runs fine for now.

Raphael Quintão-6 months ago

Good to know! That message is normal.

mosge-6 months ago

Correction. Does not work in Cinnamon 4.2.4

Raphael Quintão-6 months ago

Works normal on my 4.2.4 with Debian.

Raphael Quintão-6 months ago

What happens in that version?

mosge-6 months ago

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

N1vBruno-9 months ago

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).

Raphael Quintão-6 months ago

Fixed on version 1.4.

Hanial Li-9 months ago

work great
