 Now, start redshift (it will probably appear under accessories).  If the icon appears in the notification area, you're done.  Redshift can be toggled on and off by clicking on the icon.  For more configuration file options, look here: [[http://jonls.dk/2010/10/redshift-1-6-released/]].
-~~DISCUSSION~~
+Redshift has a default day color temperature of 5500 K and a default night color temperature of 3700 K.  The default day temperature of 5500 K is 1000 K lower than the 6500 K standard of most monitors, so running redshift will give your monitor a red tint even during the day.  This can be troublesome for photo editing and other color temperature sensitive activities.  To counter this, there are two options.  One is to disable redshift when using color temperature sensitive applications.  The other is to change the default color temperatures in the config file.  Here is a sample configuration file with the temperature default changed:
+<code>[redshift]
+temp-day=6500
+temp-night=3700
+location-provider=manual
+[manual]
+lat=32.7
+lon=-117.2
