SUMMARY
The new night color settings is missing some important functionality that was present in redshift, namely: controlling brightness and and per-color gamma (with bright in particular being perhaps more important than the redder color itself for a better night mode).

See attached screenshort for the old settings. It allowed:
- Setting color temperature for day and night.
- Setting brightness for day and night.
- Setting per-color gamma for day and night.
- Setting transition type.
- Setting switch time, potentially based on geographical coordinates.

The new one allows:
- Setting night color temperature.
- Setting switch time, potentially based on geographical coordinates.

Any changes in brightness or gamma have to be done through a different setting and are not possible to do for day and night separately, and not from the widget settings eigher.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to settings -> Display and Monitor -> Night color.
2. Try setting a brightness level for the night.

OBSERVED RESULT
Not possible.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be possible, like in the older system that this aims at replacing.
