Hooks to enhance redshift's abilities.
brightness.sh
- Set screen backlight brightness according to time of day.colorscheme.sh
- Live-reload terminal colorscheme according to time of day
For each script, copy from hooks/script_name
to
.config/redshift/hooks/script_name
. Each script may have its own installation
instructions.
Set screen backlight brightness according to time of day.
The default brightnesses for day, transition and night are 90, 60, 35, and the default fade time is one hour. If you wish to alter them, you can find them at the top of the script.
By default, brightness.sh
uses
acpi-brightness
. If using it, you will
have to change the line
readonly brightness=$HOME/usr/bin/brightness
to point to the location of the acpi-brightness
script.
If you wish to use xbacklight
, you will need to replace the brightness
function with something like
brightness() {
local seconds=${1:-0}
local steps=$((seconds * 100))
xbacklight -time $((seconds*1000)) -set $percent
}
However, I have not tested this as xbacklight
does not work on my system.
Live-reload terminal colorscheme according to time of day.
By default, this switches between solarized light and solarized dark.
- Install
urxvt-config-reload
- Copy
Xresources.d
to your~/.Xresources.d
- Add
#include ".Xresources.d/solarized"
to.Xresources
file - (optional) Copy
dircolors.ansi-dark
from seebi/dircolors-solarized to~/.dircolors.ansi-dark
, and the same fordircolors.ansi-light
This currently only works for URxvt using
urxvt-config-reload
, though you
may be able to rewrite the update_terminal()
function to work with your
terminal of choice.
Note that for best behaviour you need to change the colorscheme of running terminals, and also the global configuration for new terminals. Some terminals may automatically reload changes to their configuration, but in general to change running terminals you need to send control codes directly. Someone has already done this for Gnome terminal.
