I'm thinking how this should be done. redshift (cli) can acquire location from geoclue2. But that's it. In the past, all desktop plugins did these tasks. For example, the previous KDE based plugin took care of changing redshift settings based on which plasma activity you are in. Ideally, a desktop plugin should do this. It should be able to acquire a bus on the desktop bus, read data from geoclue2, and then accordingly re-instate redshift. I think the KDE ones used to do it. The GNOME plugin, gnome-shell- extension-redshift, doesn't do it. Should redshift-gtk do it ? I don't know. Because it'd have to integrate with dbus and the desktop frameworks, for which there are other plugins already. You may want to file this bug report upstream ? But given the development on the GUI, I doubt much would change. https://github.com/jonls/redshift -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
