It can also be used to increase the -colour temperature and make the monitor bluer, -this helps you focus on your work. - -Blueshift is inspired by Redshift but is vastly -more flexible and solves some problems with Redshift: - - - Decreases the colour temperature too early - during the winter which can make you tired - during daytime. - - - Limited support for settings such as - brightness and contrast. Technologies like - Blueshift and Redshift needs to remove all - settings made by other programs, to be - portable and to have get accuracy, which - means that you cannot any use other program - at the same time. Redshift supports only - gamman and a limited brightness range. - Blueshift can be extended by the user to - do anything and have built in support for - unlimited brightness, contrast, gamma - correction and S-curve correction. - Brightness and contrast are normally not - important because you should configure - that on the monitors control panel. But - one may want to temporarly so a change - to contrast to increase the brightness - beyond 100 %. Blueshift is to might - knowledge the first program to support - S-curve correction which is important - for LCD monitors which suffers the effects - of S-curves. - - - No support of ICC profiles. - -Blueshift is not user friendly and it is not -meant too be. Blueshift does offer limited -use of command line options to apply settings, -but it is really meant for you to have configuration -files (written in Python 3) where all the policies -are implemented, Blueshift is only meant to provide -the mechanism for modifying the colour curves. -Blueshift neither provides any means of automatically -getting your geographical position; the intention is -that you should implement that in the policy yourself -using library which can do that. Additionally -Blueshift provides not safe guards from making your -screen unreadable or otherwise miscoloured; and -Blueshift will never, officially, add support -specifically for any proprietary operating system. -Blueshift is fully extensible so it is possible to -make extensions that make it usable under unsupported -systems, the base code is written in Python 3 without -calls to any system dependent functions. -If Blueshift does not work for you for any of these -reasons, you should take a look at Redshift. - |
