Is it a good idea to activate Redshift/flux all the day (not just at night)?

- crtasm 8y agoIf it feels easier to look at your screen, do it. I have my daytime colour temperature a bit warmer than default on all my devices (then much warmer at night).
- quadrangle 8y agoI'll go a step further: most screens even black has some brightness and blueness. You can see the difference if you wear blue-blocking glasses. A pair of those is worthwhile. They're more widespread and inexpensive these days. But yeah, like the other reply, I use Redshift slightly less blue in daytime and much less blue at night.
- foo101 8y agoWhat's your Redshift setting for daytime? Do you or anyone else have a third setting for bedtime like f.lux has (say for 1 or 2 hours prior to bedtime)? If yes, how do you simulate this third setting and how do transition smoothly from the evening setting to the bedtime setting?
- quadrangle 8y agoI set daytime to 6250. I try to remember to wear amber glasses at bedtime. And the KDE Plasma Redshift Control widget lets me quickly scroll over the icon to make things more red or less. I don't have 3 different auto-settings. I would LIKE to do that though!! Is there a way to do that?
- grewil2 8y agoI use this in my .xinitrc, and keep redshift running all day. It automatically fades to red when the evening comes, and back again in the morning. nice redshift -l <YOUR-LAT>:<YOUR-LON> -b 0.6 -t 5500:1900
- tripzilch 8y agoYes you can just run `redshift -O3400` (where 3400 is your colour temperature of choice) at startup and it'll switch to that temp, without fancy timing or latitude
- KajMagnus 8y agoHow do you start Redshift on startup? I saw a suggestion about `redshift -O3400 &` in file `~/.xprofile`, and on this page someone mentions `.xinitrc`
