Screen Mode

This script allows you to switch between Normal Mode and Reading Mode, with adjustable desaturation for better eye comfort.

Dependency

Ensure you have the following installed before using the script:

• picom (for applying the shader effect)
• redshift (for adjusting screen color temperature)

Usage

Normal Mode

• Runs the screen in its default state.

       ./screen_mode.sh normal -b 0.9

Reading Mode

Reading mode applies a softer, paper-like display effect with adjustable desaturation.

• Partial desaturation (OnePlus Chromatic-like effect):

   ./screen_mode.sh reading -d 0.8

  A balance between color and grayscale, reducing eye strain while keeping some color visibility.

• Partial desaturation with temperature setting:

   ./screen_mode.sh reading -d 0.6 -t 4500
   ./screen_mode.sh reading -d 0.7 -t 4500

  A balance between color and grayscale, reducing eye strain while keeping some color visibility.

• Full desaturation (Monochrome/Black & White):

   ./screen_mode.sh reading -d 1

  Completely removes color, creating a black-and-white display for maximum focus and reduced distractions.

Notes

The grayscale value can be set between 0 and 1, where 0 keeps full colors and 1 makes the screen completely black and white. Adjust the value to find the most comfortable setting for reading.
