Nice! I have severe sleep issues and enjoy using that feature on all my devices. Glad to hear folks using Mint with the default DE will be getting it!

However, when the Mozilla location service shut down earlier this year the geo-location capabilities powering Redshift (which allowed the feature to automatically start at sunset for a user’s location) stopped working.

... it takes latitude and longitude. Why the fuck was it using remote services for that? Isn't the formula, like, three sine waves?

Whatever. Hopefully native integration allows a feature missing from both Redshift and f.lux: a cutout for viewing true color. I've done art late into the night, and a fullscreen on/off to check something is like a flashbang.
