Good day y'all,
I've been lurking the mailing-lists since wmii days. Hi! I would like to know if there has been any progress on the dwmutil front that was mentioned in one of the presentations at slcon 2015? Specifically the ad hoc color scheming. I like my 'professional' light theme most of the time, but I get headaches when the ambient lighting is to dark/warm (when I cannot change it) and would like my system to switch some gloomier hacker looks, but the contrast shouldn't decrease if possible, like when decreasing screen brightness. Was there any specific implementation ideas? Providing the seven dwm colors + 16 base colors for terminal? Can these be "legally" put into one Atom of the root window? Some pointers on no-goes when using the Atom beasts? It feels weird to litter that namespace with arbitrary new variables. In a first attempt [0] to reduce the strain on my eyes I tried my hand at complying to the suckless philosophy and adapted this [1] tiny tool to change color temperature. It uses xrandr to bend color channels. I am not totally convinced this helps as advertised, but I had some success making my girl friend telling me that she's getting dizzy when looking at my screen. At least it does something. I will give it some more testing. I mapped it to the same keys as screen brightness up/down just different modifiers. It seems to work better than just reducing the brightness, for me at least. 0: https://github.com/graupe/brownout 1: http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/sct-set-color-temperature Cheers! -- Stefan
