There should be a readme. This directory's nothing more than another variable on your: echo $PATH :wink:

You could just as well have stuck the redshiftgui binary there. It'll still find the necessary libs to function.

PS- If she doesn't start, me thinks you're gonna need a geoclue pkg'er two..

It did not load at start. :(
How programs are installed is complicated in linux
I don know what geoclue pkg'er two is.

Nah, not complicated. You just need some time away from Windows.

For RedShift, you need geoip- it's in PPM.

It'll say she's installed- probably based on the devx pkg here. Install it anyway.

Then go to one of these >> SatelliteSignals or Mashup.

Load your coordinates and mind those day numbers in the gui.

If they change, we're probably good-ta-go.

This- the new line for the script in your startup folder:

Code: Select all

redshiftgui --min -m VidMode
Let me know whether it starts in the tray red.

Sorry I lost track of this.
Semme, with your suggestion to create a script redshiftgui -n -o -m VidMode
now it works, but it does not show the taskbar icon.

As my previous post suggests, adjust your script.

The -n was for no GUI, the -o >> one shot'n exit.

The new one- minimized & the *method* req'd.
