Update for 3.14

[0X1A]

Is there any chance this can get updated to 3.14?

I currently don't have the time to really rework the extension. The patches for 3.12 are already not what I really wanted for the new user menu.
You should be able to just add 3.14 to metadata.json to make it look like in 3.12, but I'd really have a real overhaul for an "official" release.

FYI To get this into debian (which has Gnome 3.14) we'll either need to carry a patch for this or add that version to the metadata.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by overhaul here.

With the whole new system menu since Gnome Shell 3.12, I'm not sure the new position of the redshift switch by guillaume's patch really fits the UI concept. I reckon it looks awkward if neither the audio volume nor the brightness sliders are available (and if they are, redshift should really be below them instead of above).
There are two other possibilities I see:

1. as a separate PopupMenu within the user menu (like wifi, battery, ...) with some additional settings.
2. as a single switch in the new username PopupMenu (where you can also log out or switch user).
   The second option makes the switch too hard to find, I think, while the first IMHO makes redshift too prominent.
   Maybe I'll just remove the switch from the UI altogether. After all, the switch is just like disabling the extension. What do you think?

IMO, it would look good with the wifi and battery menus. It would fit in well. At the bottom, if that is possible.

I wouldn't mind no additional UI at all, redshift should just work, i.e. figure out the location from Gnome, and if the user does not want it anymore, they should disable the extension.

Artists will need this switch somewhere. It's useful to temporarily disable redshift when doing artwork.

@mbanck same here, wish this extension is supported on gnome 3.20 now that it has been released.

@malarkannan : gnome 3.20 support is a separate ticket #20

[ghost]

this ticket title is truly outdated though.

Is gnome 3.14 used in any LTS distro?

[zedinosaur]

@lightonflux Yes, in Debian Jessie.
