Night-Light-Switch-Script-Gnome

A simple bash shell script to switch( on/off ) the nightlight gnome option

You can easily use the nightlight mode with gnome desktops.

Easy installation

You can also follow this video tutorial.

• 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 ❗

Remove

• remove the .CoPaScripts in your home directory
• remove the shortcut in the gnome settings under the keyboard tab
• (an uninstaller.sh will be provided in the future)

Suggestion: Activate night light when Disable Until tomorrow is active

Hi,
I just solved an annoying issue with my nightlight switch script that was bugging me, more exactly the disable until tomorrow feature that does not allow nightlight activation, so I thought I'd share it here:

BUS_NAME="org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color"
OBJECT_PATH="/org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Color"

stop_disable_until_tomorrow() {
   dbus-send --session --dest=$BUS_NAME --print-reply $OBJECT_PATH  org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:$BUS_NAME string:DisabledUntilTomorrow variant:boolean:false >> /dev/null 2>&1
}

You can add these to your script, if you would like, it's quite a small piece of code, I won't fork it to make a pull request.
