Bug ID: 427007
Summary: Add manual mode to night color
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_nightcolor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: creideiki+kdeb...@ferretporn.se
CC: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I want to manually control when night color is activated. The closest I have
been able to get is:
1. In System settings -> Display and monitor -> Night color, set activation
time to "Always on".
2. In the panel, add a Night color control plasmoid.
3. Click the plasmoid when I want to turn night color on or off.
This has worked so far, except for activating night color on every login, which
is not a huge problem because it only happens after rebooting for kernel
upgrades.
However, tonight night color is inhibited by some unknown thing and forging
magic cookies to "qdbus org.kde.KWin /ColorCorrect
org.kde.kwin.ColorCorrect.uninhibit" doesn't enable it. I could continue
fighting the inhibition system, or try adding a new DBus interface to show the
inhibitor list, but instead of adding workarounds to workarounds I have a
feature request: add a manual mode, which ignores the inhibitor system entirely
and just features an on/off switch in the panel. Remembering the last status
and re-applying that at login (instead of always activating it) would be a
bonus.
