Dear dev,
I apologize in advance if so nincompoop to ignore something very obvious. But plz Help me with this am new to git things and communicating on github.
modules installed : redshift and redshift tray (rstray) using Chocolatey package manager on Windows 10 Latest build.
I tried to look for reducing brightness along with temperatures only at night time failed to find anything relevant that i can use with rstay ini file. I found some -b tag but didnt know how to incorporate it with rstray.ini
Kindly let me know how can I reduce brightness only at night any input will be much appreciated.
Thank you for carrying forward the legacy of Redshift. Just to let you know disabling some of the telemetry things in windows 10 sadly disables that night light thingy. and with current build redshift + rstray working great.
Warm regards.

Hmz, I never implemented this. The result of setting the brightness via this feature is vastly inferior to setting the brightness on your monitor, so if you can set the brightness via your monitor, I would very much recommend it.

Thank you very much for reply,
Something I wish to specify,

  • Reducing Brightness through Hotkeys are not automated what we can achieve through custom time ini file.
  • Reducing Brightness works through rstray.ini but sadly but its uniform doesnt follow day / night time setting, as you mentioned not implemented except the monitor drivers are installed.
    Please consider it as a request for setting different brightness at night time through automation / custom times will be really handy stuff.
    In Default Redshift there provision for it as i gone through,
; Set the screen brightness. Default is 1.0.
brightness=1.0
; It is also possible to use different settings for day and night
; since version 1.8.
brightness-day=1.0
brightness-night=1.0

If Anyway i can incorporate it with rstray plz let me know.
Thank you
Regards

Here's the source of above code : https://askubuntu.com/questions/1196267/redshift-cli-how-do-i-prevent-redshift-from-dimming-the-screen

  • I tried to enter those lines in rstay.ini file but sadly nothing changed.
brightness-day=0.8
brightness-night=0.8
    • Also tried with using rstray with admin privilege.
