The brightness and gamma applet was a nice workaround for a while but stopped working last week, it increases gamma levels to 100% but doesn’t disable the night light anymore; the gnome extension caffeine sounded perfect but after installing I cant open settings/config/manual, there’s just a tray icon that doesn’t seem to do anything.
any ideas?


It’s Mint’s built-in version of redshift, it reduces blue light at night by tinting your screen orange to be easier on the eyes. It is installed by default on all cinnamon versions of Mint. It is not included with Xfce (not sure about MATE).
If you want something similar on Xfce, you’d have to install Redshift and manually configure it with either a schedule or a location for it to work automatically, as it has been abandoned and the automatic location finder is broken.
