Re: Redshift not working
vinoman, I would recommend you do a forum search for SCT (System Colour Temperature I believe it is). SCT can easily be run per session and I expect a simple script would automate the process if that's what you want. I use SCT after boot and as I've posted elsewhere in the forum, it's a trivial thing to activate a terminal after boot and type (in my case) sct 4200. There's also a good article linked from one of the earlier thread posts that explains colour temperature and may assist you in selecting the temp most suited to your needs. I've used Redshift but I never found it as simple and useful as SCT. Dolphin uses it too I believe (he was one of the people who recommended it here).
