Night Light

Applies color temperature shifts using the Wayland wlr-gamma-control protocol. Supported on compositors that implement gamma control (Hyprland, Sway, etc.). Follows the [location] schedule when enabled; use force to ignore the schedule. At shell startup, Noctalia applies the current scheduled or forced temperature immediately; later toggles still ramp smoothly.

[nightlight]enabled = falseforce = false # force night mode from startup
temperature_day = 6500 # Kelvin (must be > temperature_night by at least 100)temperature_night = 4000 # Kelvin
