wl-gammarelay-rs
Like wl-gammarelay
, but written in rust, runs on a single thread, has three times less SLOC and uses DBus
(for simplicity).
Dbus interface
$ busctl --user introspect rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay
NAME TYPE SIGNATURE RESULT/VALUE FLAGS
.ToggleInverted method - - -
.UpdateBrightness method d - -
.UpdateTemperature method n - -
.Brightness property d 1 emits-change writable
.Inverted property b false emits-change writable
.Temperature property q 4500 emits-change writable
Installation
cargo install wl-gammarelay-rs
Status bar integration
i3status-rust
i3status-rust hueshift block has the builtin support for this backend on the async
branch. See the documentation here.

Watch for changes
You can run wl-gammarelay-rs watch <format>
to watch for changes. Each time some property changes, a new line will be printed based on string. {t}
expands into temperature, {b}
into brightness (0 to 1) and {bp}
expands into brightness in percents (0 to 100).
For example, if you want to monitor both temperature and brightness (in percents), you can run
$ wl-gammarelay-rs watch "{t}K {bp}%"
4000K 90%
4500K 90%
5000K 90%
5000K 100%
5000K 80%
5000K 100%
...
Example usage in scripts
# Set the temperature to `5000`
busctl --user set-property rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay Temperature q 5000
# Increase the temperature by `100`:
busctl --user call rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay UpdateTemperature n 100
# Decrease the temperature by `100`:
busctl --user -- call rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay UpdateTemperature n -100
# Invert colors
busctl --user set-property rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay Inverted b true
# Toggle inverted colors
busctl --user call rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay ToggleInverted
# Set the brightness to `100%`:
busctl --user set-property rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay Brightness d 1
# Increase the brightness by `10%`:
busctl --user call rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay UpdateBrightness d 0.1
# Decrease the brightness by `10%`:
busctl --user -- call rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay UpdateBrightness d -0.1
