Bug ID: 484177
Summary: Application specific Night Light allow/denylist
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---

When using a blue light filter and doing colour sensitive work, I'm forced to
disable Night Light entirely across all displays, when what I really want is
for it to only disable the filter on one application (e.g. Krita / Figma),
while continuing to filter everything else. Right now, my only option is to
disable it completely, which isn't really ideal.
Additionally, sometimes I don't realise the filter is on at all, especially
near sunset when it is gradually changing temperature, which can be problematic
for colour sensitive work.
Some use cases:
- I'm playing a video game or watching a movie at night, and I have Discord or
a web browser open on a second monitor
- I'm working on a project, and my text editor should stay filtered, but the
preview and Figma should not be
What a perfect implementation would look like for me:
- Still scheduled to turn transition on at sunset, with denied windows never
being filtered
- Denylist override ("filter everything, except these applications and
windows")
- (I suppose some people may also want an allowlist mode, even though I
wouldn't use it? "filter nothing, except these applications and windows")
tl;dr: Option to exclude certain windows from Night Light.
