Smoothly color transition. How to do it?

Asked by Pavel

Hello,
I'm sorry for my English writing,
I would like to ask you to help me resolve the issue with smoothly color transition.
I tried to use redshift on Linux Mint 13 Maya (based on Ubuntu 12.04) and can't to run smoothly transition, so the one shot mode output is as follows

~ $ redshift -l 55.45:65.33 -t 6500:4700 -g 0.8 -v -o
Местоположение: 55.450001°, 65.330002°
Brightness: 1.00
Гамма: 0.800, 0.800, 0.800
Использование метода `randr'.
Высота Солнца над горизонтом: 11.281627°
Период: День
Температура цвета: 6500K

Where "Период: День" does not show transition in % as on the picture here http://jonls.dk/redshift/
and color temperature stays on highest 6500K within all day. How can I run smoothly color transition?

I'm not sure understand. Why are you using oneshot mode if you want the
temperature to change throughout the day? The transition only appears in
normal mode not in oneshot mode.

Thanks for you reply. I suppose oneshot mode show color transition in % and temperature lower than 6500 (highest in my case) like in the picture here http://jonls.dk/redshift/ but I can't get it

Ok, I put the text into google translate and I can see that "Период: День" means Period: Day, so that's why you don't see Transition. Redshift operates with three different periods: day, night and transition (between day and night). You'll only see the percentage if you are in the latter period of the day. You are correct that this transition period should show up in oneshot mode as well.
