As discussed in a previous blog post, I greatly enjoy Redshift on my laptop running Arch Linux. However, because it’s Arch Linux, sometimes I have to logout and log back in, in order to make a change ‘stick.’ If I have Redshift running, and I log back in and start the program using
redshift-gtk
Then the effect on my screen persists even if I toggle Redshift off. Annoying.
To get around this, close out of redshift-gtk in the tray, then run this command to clear the effects of redshift:
redshift -x
And then restart redshift-gtk. This will cause the software to behave as intended.
