Fixed times

Asked by StephenR0

Would it be possible to have an option to set fixed times for day and night? Sunset changes all year, but my bed time doesn't. I would rather just have the screen change a couple of hours before I go to bed. Another possibility would be to allow an earliest limit for sunset time. And in the morning, I want daytime to begin whenever I get up. It would be helpful if this worked both in Windows and Linux. Thanks.

you could use cron with the "xrandr" tool to set --gamma red:green:blue at fixed times.

Thank you for your suggestion. Actually, I've pretty much given up on Linux for workstations. Windows is a better fit until Linux evolves some more, at least for my needs. Are you aware of any similar solution that would work in Windows?

I am googling, just so you know. :-)

Can you help with this problem?
