Redshift Tray 64-bit 2.2.3

New releases can only be found on Codeberg

WARNING: This version is now 64-bit. The reason for this is that hotkeys with certains conditions (using #If in the script) can stop working on x64 Windows. For details, see this forum post. If you really need a 32-bit build, please contact me, use the script uncompiled, or use Ahk2Exe to build it yourself.

NOTE: The compiled version of Redshift Tray rstray.exe offered here is completely free of viruses and other malware. Unfortunately, many pesky virus scanners mark compiled AutoHotkey scripts as infected (see here). So please tell your antivirus software to back off and mind its own business, or - if you can - report the executable as safe.

An alternative way to use Redshift Tray is to run the uncompiled script with the AutoHotkey binary.

Changes

2.2.3

• Apply daytemp value during the day in "Custom times" mode (just like in normal "Enabled" mode), instead of disabling Redshift completely (#22)

So please tell your antivirus software to back off and mind its own business, or - if you can - report the executable as safe.

Changes

1.9.9

• New Redshift binary (2020-06-14)
• Switched to Unicode binary of AutoHotkey (v1.1.33.02)
• Included installation with Scoop in ReadMe and added credits for Chocolatey and Scoop packages
• Fixed sudden exits due to scheduled task options
• Activate RCtrl x2 hotkey with Remote Desktop support enabled (not with Extra hotkeys)
• Suspend On/Off placement changes which seem to make Sleep command unnecessary

Unfortunately, many pesky virus scanners mark compiled AutoHotkey scripts as infected (see here). So please tell your antivirus software to back off and mind its own business, or - if you can - report the executable as safe.

Changes

1.9.8

• RDP: Check boolean in If-statement first, since this should be faster
• RDP Fix: previously readded If !rdpclient really causes RDP client mode state loss (shortly after creating a session and possibly during the session)
• Remove leading zeroes

1.9.7

• Added RCtrl RAlt to Type to run
• Added RCtrl RAlt x2 to Windows Run dialog
• Increase Type to run dialog's width
• Remove "Command..." from Run dialog (first typed character was sometimes missed due to a delayed response)
• Fix repetitive Alt+PgUp/PgDown & RAlt+PgUp/PgDown (replaced Sleep with SetTimer "thread" for ClearMem)
• Further removed delays in repetitive Alt+PgUp/PgDn and RAlt+PgUp/PgDn (replaced Sleep with Process, Wait)
• Delay enabling RDP client mode for when mstsc.exe gives a connection error: right after closing the error dialog, rstray picked up the RDP client window in the back, right before it closes, and enabled RDP client mode
• Activate the taskbar when no other windows are opened and RCtrl x2 is used to get out of an RDP client window
• When closing RDP client window, reinitialize hotkeys via suspend on, suspend off

1.9.6

• Added KeyWait, AppsKey for restart/hibernate hotkeys to prevent Menu getting stuck on resume

• Don't Send {Alt Up}{Ctrl Up}{RAlt Up}{RCtrl Up} when switching to RDP client window
• Replaced <^>! with RAlt & for US keyboard layouts (should fix forced temperature change and opacity/on-top/click-through)

1.9.3

• Added setting to enable NumLock when logging in locally, after ending an RDP connection to the system (client laptops without numeric keypad disable NumLock)
• Now using RAlt instead of <^>! for Force/End Force hotkeys, so that they also work on the local system when an RDP client window is active
• Code clean-up

1.9.2

• Improved accuracy and responsiveness for Remote Desktop client mode detection
• Use the "rdpclient" boolean for hotkey conditions

Redshift Tray 1.8.4

NOTE: The compiled version of Redshift Tray rstray.exe offered here is completely free of viruses and other malware. Unfortunately, many pesky virus scanners mark compiled AutoHotkey scripts as infected (see here). So please tell your antivirus software to back off and mind its own business, or - if you can - report the executable as safe.

Changes

1.8.4

• Visual feedback when trying to use Type to run and Explorer.exe isn't running
• Fixed: Type to run would not work if Explorer.exe was not running when RSTray was started

1.8.3

• Fixed: Type to run would not work if Explorer.exe was restarted
• Fixed: center Type to run dialog when switching to/from RDP mode
• ! to Not

1.8.2

• Added small instant "Type to Run" popup (if the same hotkeys are pressed twice, you'll still get the Windows Run dialog)
• Added "Volume:" to volume change tooltip when in RDP mode
• Escape quits Help/Type to Run dialogs
• Release objects after use (location's HTTP, scheduler)
• Fixed restart problem (old instance wouldn't quit)

1.8.1

• Added one hotkey: Menu + Pause = Suspend Computer (i.e. put in standby/sleep mode)
• The binary for 1.8.0 was getting false positives by BitDefender, `eScan, FortiNet, F-Secure, GDATA, Sophos, VBA32, and the Chrome browser. This one - even though it's got the same AutoHotkey binary and no real changes - is fine (for now).

1.8.0

• Makes brightness a value that's kept between sessions
• Press Alt Home or RAlt Home again to reset brightness, too
• Option to keep brightness value even when gamma adjustment is disabled (e.g. for monitors that have humming/flickering issues when backlight is adjusted)

Changes

1.7.0

• Keep Windows calibration: prevent Redshift from messing up custom calibration or ICC profiles with "-x"
• Autorun feature now uses Windows' Task Scheduler: this will run Redshift earlier and helps preventing UAC prompts
