There are two options. Manual or Sunset/Sunrise in Night light
settings. If I choose Sunset/Sunrise, I believe, the system is supposed
to get the Sunset/Sunrise times from some server online, based on some
location (I pressume this location is that of my time zone, however, I
belive one time zone can have different locations with different Sunset
times). That is why I am asking if there is some way I can know how the
program is getting its Sunset/Sunrise times. Or if maybe I have to
activate the Location service for this to work (if that is the case,
there should be some warning about this).

I do remember that Redshift used to require that you set a location in
order to have the automatic sunset/sunrise times working.

I am aware of the gradual change. The issue is that the change is
starting to happen a bit (about an hour) later than it should.

thank you..
