Persistent Storage feature: "Dark Mode" and "Night Light" settings
Originally created by @kdr4 on #17239 (Redmine)
Notes
- For the Night Light feature to perform as planned, it has to take into account the local timezone, not the system one (UTC). So this depends on Persistent Storage feature: time zone (#12094) and we would probably have to patch GNOME Shell.
Original report
It would be useful to persistently set the ‘Night Light’ feature through the Dotfiles persistence mechanism. Testing indicates that settings for this are not saved to the .config/monitors.xml file, which is where I expected to find it. I couldn’t find any evidence of the setting being saved after examination of likely other hidden config files.
Unless this is a fingerprinting risk?
