Seems reasonable. We could maybe add this somewhere to the Brightness and Color popup, where there's plenty of space. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Seems reasonable. We could maybe add this somewhere to the Brightness and > Color popup, where there's plenty of space. I had the same thought. That popup is clean and light now. It could have the same slider as in the system settings view of Night Light but be a temporary override. Whatever changes are made there, the next time Night Light is activated on a schedule, it returns to the set schedule. And there could be a mark that the setting is temporarily overridden with a "revert" or similar button which manually ends the override, returning to whatever would normally be happening at that time. (With the Redshift plasma widget, a simple click canceled any temporary override that came from scrolling). maybe just like with Redshift widget, the screen brightness system tray icon could have some indication of the overridden status. And currently, middle-click on the icon turns on and off Night Light. It would be simple that when a temporary override is active, the first middle-click turns off the override. Then, middle-clicking again would turn off Night Light as it does now. A recent update makes scroll-motion on the system tray night-light icon be a change of *brightness*. That's nice and is one step. Given middle-click reserved for night-light off, it's not clear now what the design should be for a scrolling to temporarily adjust the night-light color strength. Middle-scroll (3-finger scroll) could be an option, but currently that shifts through desktops no matter whether it's on a plasma panel or on other parts of the screen. Could it work with a keyboard option, something like Alt+scroll? So, scroll would change brightness still, Alt+scroll would change color temperature? Again, if color-temperature is temporarily shifted, it should be indicated in the icon, and middle-click should return it to the normal settings (remove the temporary adjustment). Another middle-click while in normal settings can still turn the night-light off then. This would be a great addition, since win 10 had something similar for years now, and even gnome had an extension for it since 3.24. |
