Users often need to adjust the <strong>Night Light<\/strong> temperature through the <em>Settings &gt; Display &gt; Night Light &gt; Temperature<\/em> menu, which can be cumbersome.<\/p>\n<p>To make this process more efficient, the <strong>Night Light Slider<\/strong> GNOME Shell extension offers a solution by incorporating a temperature intensity slider directly into the Quick Settings menu. This allows users to easily adjust their screen&#8217;s warmth without navigating away from their current task.<\/p>\n<p>While the extension doesn&#8217;t introduce revolutionary changes and the original adjustments can still be made via the Settings app, it significantly enhances user convenience by bringing the slider to a more accessible location.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Night Light Slider<\/strong> is compatible with GNOME versions 45 to 47.
