Redshift is probably the thing to use with X11. The docs on that say that "color temperature is changed by setting appropriate gamma ramps", but it looks like it's actually using XCB to scale *all of the points* on brightness-curves rather than just adjusting the exponent used in normal gamma correction. I guess that makes sense: you can't change your whitepoint by messing with the "xgamma" command, because changing the gamma value just changes the exponentiation of the values *between* a given blackpoint and whitepoint. You could presumably also do this by defining a custom color-profile using Argyll or something, but I have no idea how to do that. It looks like Gnome Color Manager will let you tune your whitepoint *after you calibrate*, but you need to hook up and ColorHug or other calibration hardware first and actually get through the calibration step. If anyone knows (or finds out) how to actually generate a custom color-profile without doing calibration per se, I'd love to hear about it. > Was he running vintage terminal emulator Cathode? > http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/ > > Looks like the glass screen of a VT420 (in my experience) and friends. > > https://www.jwz.org/images/cathode2.jpg > > > On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 10:53 AM, Ryan Stack <4kby...@zoho.com > <mailto:4kby...@zoho.com>> wrote: > > __ > Yes that's probably f.lux, it has OS X version.
