Screen night light activating applet

README

This is a Cinnamon applet for changing screen color temperature. This applet was inspired by SCT Toggle applet by @skulptist.de and also uses 'sct' command, nevertheless it works differently. The applet has 3 modes - off, on and auto (simply click the applet with your left mouse button). The auto mode uses your schedule from the applet configuration.

Requirements

The applet is a frontend for 'sct' command and, thus, requires the 'sct' package to be installed.

Installation

Download and enable via Cinnamon Settings or panel popup menu.

It doesn't work in LM Cinnamon 22, I get a warning saying I don't have "sct". Installing xsct does not help.

Finally, on Mint 19.3 the auto start works but it reverts to daylight in the middle of the evening! what a pity! In the meantime, I'm using Iris Mini, which is free and functional, but it's not in my philosophy! Please, what's the solution? Thank you for your help.

There is no `sct` package in Linux Mint 22. There is `xsct`, however.

Hello and congratulations! I used to use Redshift which worked fine (Cinnamon 4.4.8.) , but it is no longer operational and QRedshift is not compatible. Night Light is even better because you can set the K° temperature yourself! Unfortunately, in auto mode, it doesn't switch on at the chosen time. Any ideas? (I have installed 'sct') Thanks.

That's odd that you would say that Redshift doesn't function and QRedshift isn't compatible. I just installed Redshift and QRedshift on Linux Mint 22, and they both appear to be working just fine.
