Remember that longitudes in the western hemisphere (e.g. the +Americas) must be provided to Redshift as negative numbers. + +**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. Preferable only use it if your normal backlight adjustment is +too coarse-grained. + +**Why doesn't Redshift work on Wayland (e.g. Fedora 25)?** + +The Wayland protocol does not support Redshift. There is currently no way for +Redshift adjust the color temperature in Wayland. + +**Why doesn't Redshift work on Ubuntu with Mir enabled?** + +Mir does not support Redshift. + +**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. + Donations --------- diff --git a/contrib/macos/launchd/dk.jonls.redshift.plist b/contrib/macos/launchd/dk.jonls.redshift.plist new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1e0562b --- /dev/null +++ b/contrib/macos/launchd/dk.jonls.redshift.plist @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> +<plist version="1.0"> +<dict> + <key>Label</key> + <string>dk.jonls.redshift</string> + + <key>ProgramArguments</key> + <array> + <string>/usr/local/bin/redshift</string> + </array> + + <key>Nice</key> + <integer>20</integer> + + <key>RunAtLoad</key> + <true/> + + <key>KeepAlive</key> + <true/> +</dict> +</plist> diff --git a/src/signals.c b/src/signals.c index 3dac82c..cee5ece 100644 --- a/src/signals.c +++ b/src/signals.c @@ -50,6 +50,11 @@ sigdisable(int signo) disable = 1; } +#else /* !
