Redshift/brightness tray applet fix

November 08, 2024 — BarryK

There was a recent report, that the redhsift/brightness tray applet does not "kick in" until it is clicked on. In manual mode, it does remember your selection, which is saved in /root/.rshift; however, those settings are not read until the tray icon is clicked on.

In my case, I have one laptop that has a too-bright screen. I often use this in the evening, sitting in a lounge chair, and in the lower ambient light level, the screen brightness is a bit too much. So I have set brightness a bit lower, but then have to click the tray icon every time startup the laptop.

We have a fix:

I have updated the PET and it will be in the next release of EasyOS.
