      @TwoCables You can just change the sliders by dragging, you don't need to change location!

          If you change the setting on "This is when I wake up" and tell it that you wake up at for example 8 pm, (or whatever gives the minimum number of daylight hours) then you can extend the time that it will work on Bedtime mode which allows you to go to a much lower temperature.
          I'm still experimenting with this but it seems pretty effective so far.

            Hello, thanks for such an amazing application!
            And I have the same problem as people here - I need single adjustment all the time.
            It would be perfect if you could make button, that switches off automatic transitions

              I agree with that. I have a medical problem with my eyes that leaves them unusually sensitive to blue light, and I find the minimum temperature on the daytime setting is still much too high for me.

                You can do 1 color temperature 24/7.

                  Thank you TwoCables.
                  Could you explain how to do that please as I don't see any obvious way of doing it.

                    The other option I'm looking at is changing the location setting.
                    If I add or subtract 180 from the latitude figure, then it will change the day/night by 12 hours.
                    At 10 am it will think it's 10 pm, and go into sunset mode.
                    This is working so far.

                      Set all 3 color temperatures the same. Sunrise, Sunset and Bedtime. You can fake your location and fake your bedtime so that you can change them right now.

                        @nwalford That's how I did it. All there is in the preferences on my Linux version is latitude / longitude and 6 colour choices, can't automate colour changes over time of day etc. It's either on or off, so I found a place that suited what I wanted on the location setter and set it to that. I do like it, very restful on the eyes.
