MX Fluxbox-Redshift [Solved] [Solved]

Hi-

Is there a way to run Redshift in Fluxbox 21, or another app that adjusts the display's color temperature?

Thank you.

Its in the package manager. You should just be able to install it and it will work.

Or you can use the simplest & lightest one: sct

You can assign keybindings , say one for sct 2400
and the other just sct (to reset to normal)
You can also create launchers and icons on panel etc ...

Redshift-gtk is relatively heavy on resources (consumes nearly 20 Mb on my system) --> but you can run the base redshift application, which using less than 1 Mb of Ram,..
Just add " redshift & " to ~/fluxbox/startup - and bind the toggle command 'pkill -USR1 redshift' to a key-combo in ~/.fluxbox/keys

Edit: forgot to mention that I created a simple 'redshift.conf' configuration file in ~/.config/redshift/ directory:

Code: Select all

[redshift]
temp-day=6500
temp-night=4900
fade=0
gamma=0.9
adjustment-method=randr
location-provider=manual

[manual]
lat=51.92
lon=4.40

; Toggle command (handy if redshift in command line status) 
; pkill -USR1 redshift

Edit to your own requirements and settings

Thank you for your quick reply.

Thanks for the tip - I had been looking for one that was more directly configurable, such as what antiX uses, and had not come across sct. The files are available on Github, so I will see how to install it.

I had installed it on an external HDD and apparently Fluxbox-Geoclue does not work in that setup. Installed directly on the laptop, it runs as expected. Redshift works on an external HDD with XFCE.

The information that you provided is excellent. Looks like the day/night color temperatures can be adjusted in the created home directory - Thank you for posting that!

Thank you everyone for your help!

If you mean sct it's already in MX Package Installer or simply you can:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update ; sudo apt install sct -y

Meanwhile, you can still install it no matter you use another (automated) one (it's tiny and since it works manually, no harm, will stay there silently till you call it :) )

Huckleberry Finn-

Thank you!! I did not think to check there. That is much easier.
