Bug Description

We should add a redshift/f.lux-like night mode using display color profiles. We would need to calculate the current color profile, and make several gradually-red-shifted versions and handle switching to them based on the local time and local sunset.

Affects Switchboard Displays Plug since we'd likely want to make it toggleable.

Insted of applying a gradient of color profiles, would it be possible to use Redshift as a backend? It offers gamma correction, setting the screen temperature, several methods of color ajustment etc.
