Clight seems to be working for me (Arch Linux, clight version 4.11-706250c, KDE 6.0.4 using X11), but I only want it to adjust the screen brightness and temperature based on sunset/sunrise, and not based on ambient light. I read through the documentation, settings, and issues and am not sure what setting to change in order to do this. There is the option "--no-auto-calib", but I think what this does is prevent clight from adjusting brightness based on screen content.

So, in summary, how do I have clight change the brightness (in addition to screen temperature) based only on time of day, and not ambient light?

On a side note, there are some other things I was wondering:

  • Is the "gamma" referred to in this program the same "gamma" as usually referred to in video games, which is separate from monitor brightness?
  • If I change the config files, do I need to restart the service via systemctl or will the changes take effect automatically?
  • Perhaps the docs should clarify that the user config file and folder, if created, should be ~/.config/clight.conf and ~/.config/modules.conf.d/, because initially I had made these both inside a folder ~/.config/clight since the other configs there appeared to be like that at first. The docs don't really seem to mention that these user configs can be made (I think I found out through an error message via the program)

Thank you for any help you can give.
