how about wayland?
In the list of things that do not work, do we have wayland? Or is there a solution that could match this already out there?
A similar problem is one that redshift tries to address, and it faced similar issues working with Wayland. I suspect the solution would be the same, which is to say that the Compositor has to implement support for this, and then programs ask the compositor to shift colors around (e.g. sway has this now).
GNOME has an article about color management has well which might be relevant, and it seems the best shot at this in redshift is using some gnome approach (see https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/55#issuecomment-292003514).
It would be nice to have the best practices about this documented somehow as well. Would love to see that work!
@anarcat I must say I do not really know Wayland-s situation on this. Maybe wayland itself can have something like this implemented in its API?
I've linked this issue in README for better visibility though.
The problem with doing this in Wayland is that applications do not have access to other applications rendering data like in X11 (this is generally considered a good thing). As a side effect, though, this kind of a thing would have to be implemented in the Compositor itself.
