You can easily use the nightlight mode with gnome desktops.

  • Download the latest release (or clone the repository)
  • Extract the archive and go into the extracted folder
  • Add the execution privileges to the installer.sh file :
chmod u+x installer.sh
  • Run ./installer.sh and follow the instruction
  • Now you can switch the NightLight mode with Ctrl+Shift+L or your custom shortcut.

Hard Installation method (In case of issues)

It is very pleasant to use with shortcuts:

  • You just need to go type shortcut in gnome search bar and add a shortcut.
  • In the field command paste the path to the shell script.
  • (Easy)Go to Display Settings, at the bottom you should see "Night Light". Set the hour from 00:00 to 23:59. (Advanced)You can also download the dconf editor and go to org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/. Then set night-light-schedule-from=0 and night-light-schedule-to=24.

📝 Modify the shortcut in Gnome settings under the keyboard tab ❗
