        Hi Alan. But blue light affects everyone's sleep. Sorry, but I don't think I want to go through all of that. :see-no-evil_monkey:

          @Opolork if it isn't a priority for you, that's fine too. 😉

            @alan_g Are there some suggested links to the Mir code etc?

            Anyone know where to find these parts in the code?
            Thanks

              There was an email address at the bottom of the Redshift website, so I just pinged the developer and asked if he might consider contributing some expertise to Mir.

                For starters, there's a handy guide to step 1 here: https://mir-server.io/doc/getting_involved_in_mir.html

                  As dobey said above, there's very little overlap. About the only thing in common is the choice of values for the gamma curves.

                      A workaround for now. I will not use the smartphone after 8:30pm to combat that pesky nighttime blue light. 💡 🙂

                        @Opolork in the meantime there's a proper solution, you could use a blue light filter screen protector on your device, or even use glasses with that kind of filter 😉

                          Those are also valid workarounds. Although I think it's good to ditch the smartphone around 8:30pm anyway - to wind down for the night. I go to bed at 10:45pm. 🙂

                            @Opolork wrong answer! You need to keep testing and improving UT until 4 a.m. at least 😆

                              Propose (and get accepted) this addition to the Mir project.

                              I've added an issue to the Mir project. (But it won't be scheduled in the foreseeable future.)

                                Far too late for an extreme early bird like me. 😉 🐦
