Description

redshift.conf.txt

Redshift doesn't allow me to ensure that the screen-modifications only get applied to my built-in screen. When i set "screen=0" in the redshift.conf in the wingdi section, it doesn't allow me to start. Please find attached my used redshift.conf file.

Thanks in advance for the help

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the wingdi backend handles monitor specific settings, particularly the 'screen' option. Trace the configuration parsing and the application of gamma ramps to understand why setting screen=0 fails.
