You can change the color temperature in the settings BTW, it doesn't lower the brightness, so you shouldn't have to focus more : it only changes the color that is most noticeable from blue to redish

Well got to play a bit more with redshift and added it to my startup scripts. It works perfectly as long as you just use it as a raw terminal thing: >redshift -t day:night -l lat:lon . So yeah as a command line driven thing to use in scripts and all it's a nice thing, and I appreciate working with.

This is AMAZING! I just installed it, my eyes loves it
|
Is this suggesting that light temperature equates to eye strain relative to the time of day? Pretty sure the brightness(which tends to be tied to back-lighting in computer monitors) have to do with pushing mega lumens at your eyes at a distance of 2 feet is the eye strain.

Everything is so very orange.
|
I'm quite a fan of this software, been using it for maybe half a year now. Definitely makes it much easier on the eyes.
|
Just installed this, probably the next best thing after the TL Dark addon. (miss it so much, damn you FireFox!) Set it at 4200 at night now, the default was way to orange for me. Thx, forgot about this.
Edit: Is there any way to apply this also to my 2nd monitor?
|
I tried this a while ago and didn't like it much. Maybe it was because I didn't configure properly.
But is there a way to make the change incremental throughout the day, so I don't even notice it? When I used it, it was very glaring when the color space changes :/
|
I used it before, and I don't recommend it for use with BW. I remember facing or playing Zerg and not understanding where the creep was X_X.

Nope, it's a pretty crap piece of software considering how many people want to use it. The change happens like instantaneously, it fucks over your OS's colour palette, sometimes you uninstall and it leaves everything orange and you have to reinstall it, makes some Nvidia drivers crash, etc.

Well this might not work out so well in a place where the sun sets at 3PM and if I don't want to fall asleep while studying.

You can also configure it to be less extreme about the shift to orange so that it won't be as noticeable in general at night.

Trying this out, seems quite awesome for now, will give feedback of my experience in a few days !

1 hour is still very noticeable.

Flux/redshift is really great. I use it a lot.

I guess, now that there is a (good ?) linux version this is not really relevant anymore, but have you tried redshift for linux ? Currently trying redshift(1.7) on mint, gotta say it's not that neat. Launching from any graphical interface fails with no output. Calling it raw in the command line outputs an ugly error. and it has not builtin --help. -h works however so apparently you cant call it without -l lat:lon and since you launch it in a terminal you have this things which keeps running. gtk-redshift (1.7) is not that pretty either, since you still have to call it from bash, so it just adds this small icon which burns your eyes when you click on it, and...that's it. If you have any advice on how to get those running smoothly, it would be very welcome. I'll give the f.lux version for linux a shot.
Here's the fix I use for redshift/gtk-redshift (linux):
Make a file ~/.config/redshift.conf This is mine:
; Global settings [redshift] temp-day=5700 temp-night=3500 transition=1 gamma=0.8:0.7:0.8 location-provider=manual ;adjustment-method=vidmode
; The location provider and adjustment method settings ; are in their own sections. [manual] lat=38 lon=-122
; In this example screen 1 is adjusted by vidmode. Note ; that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually ; the second screen. ;[vidmode] ;screen=1
Make sure to change your lat/lon and screen correctly. I got it from here: http://jonls.dk/2010/10/redshift-1-6-released/
It still doesn't work quite right for me because I have to manually toggle it on/off in the notification area... but at least it's usable. I don't know why the hell I still have to do this... seems like such a simple bug for the devs to fix.

Will give this a try. I've been having problems with my eyes because of staring into the monitor so would be nice if this helps.
