Night Light CLI 🌓

Control Windows 10/11's Night Light feature programmatically.

The binary format of the registry value was reverse engineered from NightLight.cs in the tiny-screen project by Maclay74, and converted to Typescript with help from ChatGPT.

For changing the scheduled Night Light settings via a slightly different registry key, see this post: https://superuser.com/a/1209192.

Compatibility

Windows Version | Status --------------- | ---------- Windows 11 22H2 | ✅ Tested Windows 10 21H2 | ❔ Untested but should work

Please open an issue if you find that this package does not work on your version of Windows.

Contribution

Since this works by modifying a single registry key, it can be done in any language. A few examples are implemented already.
