redshift GUI tray app

November 21, 2021 — BarryK

EasyOS has a GUI for /usr/bin/sct (set color temperature), 'brightness-control-1.2.2.pet'. However, there have been complaints, for example:

Forum member fredx181 has created an excellent GUI tray app for the 'redshift' utility:

I have converted his rshift-portable into a PET, requiring dependencies 'yad' and 'redshift'.
The PET also uses 'popup', which is only in EasyOS. And, '/usr/bin/gtkdialog-splash (the pups have the equivalent at /usr/lib/gtkdialog/box_splash).

The PET is 'rshift_tray-20211121.pet', not yet uploaded. This will be in the next release of EasyOS.

The redshift project page is here, but do note my report to the forum that version 1.12 is broken, 1.11 works:
