-Redshift
-========
-
-Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to
-your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are
-working in front of the screen at night.

-README versions: [latest](https://github.com/jonls/redshift/blob/master/README.md) | [1.12](https://github.com/jonls/redshift/blob/v1.12/README.md) | [1.11](https://github.com/jonls/redshift/blob/v1.11/README.md)

-
-Run `redshift -h` for help on command line options. You can run the program
-as `redshift-gtk` instead of `redshift` for a graphical status icon.

-Technical Details (Gamma Ramps)
--------------------------------
-
-Redshift applies a redness effect to the graphical display. The intensity of the redness can be customized and
-scheduled to only be applied at night or to be applied with more intensity at night.
-
-Redshift uses the gamma correction ramps to apply this effect which has traditionally been the only
-way of applying a color effect to the display. Note that this is really a hack to work around the absense of a
-standardized way of applying color effects, and it is resulting in several issues some of which are explained in
-the _FAQ_ section below. As long as Redshift is using gamma ramps, many of these issues are impossible to solve properly
-in Redshift.
-
-Since Redshift was first created, many desktop environments have adopted similar functionality as an integrated
-component:
-
-- GNOME: [Night Light](https://www.gnome.org/news/2017/03/gnome-3-24-released/attachment/night-light/)
-- Plasma: Night Color
-- Windows: [Night Light](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027563/windows-10-set-your-display-for-night-time)
-- macOS: Night Shift
-
-Using the features integrated into the desktop environments avoids many of the issues with gamma ramps which is why
-these implementations should generally be favored over Redshift. On the other hand, Redshift may offer some additional
-flexibility that is not available in the integrated features.

-FAQ
----
-
-### How do I install Redshift?
-
-Use the packages provided by your distribution, e.g. for Ubuntu:
-`apt-get install redshift` or `apt-get install redshift-gtk`. For developers,
-please see _Building from source_ and _Latest builds from master branch_ below.
-
-### How do I setup a configuration file?
-
-A configuration file is not required but is useful for saving custom
-configurations and manually defining the location in case of issues with the
-automatic location provider. An example configuration can be found in
-[redshift.conf.sample](redshift.conf.sample).
-
-The configuration file should be saved in the following location depending on
-the platform:
-
-- Linux/macOS: `~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf` (if the environment variable `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is undefined) or `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/redshift/redshift.conf` (if `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is defined).
-- Windows: Put `redshift.conf` in `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\`
-    (aka `%localappdata%`).
-
-### Where can I find my coordinates to put in the configuration file?
-
-There are multiple web sites that provide coordinates for map locations, for
-example clicking anywhere on Google Maps will bring up a box with the
-coordinates. Remember that longitudes in the western hemisphere (e.g. the
-Americas) must be provided to Redshift as negative numbers.
-
-### Why does GeoClue fail with access denied error?
-
-It is possible that the location services have been disabled completely. The
-check for this case varies by desktop environment. For example, in GNOME the
-location services can be toggled in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
-
-If this is not the case, it is possible that Redshift has been improperly
-installed or not been given the required permissions to obtain location
-updates from a system administrator. See
-https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/318 for further discussion on this
-issue.
-
-### Why doesn't Redshift work on my Chromebook/Raspberry Pi?
-
-Certain video drivers do not support adjustable gamma ramps. In some cases
-Redshift will fail with an error message, but other drivers silently ignore
-adjustments to the gamma ramp.
-
-### Why doesn't Redshift change the backlight when I use the brightness option?
-
-Redshift has a brightness adjustment setting but it does not work the way most
-people might expect. In fact it is a fake brightness adjustment obtained by
-manipulating the gamma ramps which means that it does not reduce the backlight
-of the screen. Preferably only use it if your normal backlight adjustment is
-too coarse-grained.
-
-### When running as a systemd service, redshift fails to connect to the graphical environment
-
-You need to export your environment variables when your window manager or
-compositor start up. Typically, you want to run this as part of its startup:
-
-    systemctl --user import-environment; systemctl --user start graphical-session.target
-
-See your compositor's (or window manager's) documentation for further details
-of setting up the systemd user session.
-
-Related issues: [#753](https://github.com/jonls/redshift/pull/753).
-
-### The redness effect is applied during the day instead of at night. Why?
-
-This usually happens to users in America when the longitude has been set in the
-configuration file to a positive number. Longitudes in the western hemisphere
-should be provided as negative numbers (e.g. New York City is at approximately
-latitude/longitude 41, -74).
-
-### Why does the redness effect occasionally switch off for a few seconds?
-
-Redshift uses the gamma ramps of the graphics driver to apply the redness
-effect but Redshift cannot block other applications from also changing the
-gamma ramps. Some applications (particularly games and video players) will
-reset the gamma ramps. After a few seconds Redshift will kick in again. There
-is no way for Redshift to prevent this from happening.
-
-### Why does the redness effect continuously flicker?
-
-You may have multiple instances of Redshift running simultaneously. Make sure
-that only one instance is running for the display where you are seeing the
-flicker.
-
-### Why doesn't Redshift change the color of the mouse cursor?
-
-Mouse cursors are usually handled separately by the graphics hardware and is
-not affected by gamma ramps. Some graphics drivers can be configured to use
-software cursors instead.
-
-### I have an issue with Redshift but it was not mentioned in this FAQ. What do I do?
-
-Please go to [the issue tracker](https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues) and
-check if your issue has already been reported. If not, please open a new issue
-describing you problem.
