This looks interesting, pity it's not portable and the dev doesn't seem that active.

You could try f.lux.

There's a portableapps.com version available here:

I built a small AutoIt Script which basically copies over redshiftg.ini temporarily; runs app; then removes the footprint.

Tested on Windows 7 Ultimate & XP Pro PortableApps 4.1

Assuming your "portable" drive is "P:" (I use 2nd Sata for portable apps to keep SSD OS Drive & registry, etc. cleaner)

P:\PortableApps\
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\App
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\App\AppInfo
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\App\AppInfo\appicon.ico
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\Data
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\Data\redshiftg.ini
P:\PortableApps\(CUSTOM)RedShiftGUI\Data\redshiftgui.exe

Description=Redshiftgui changes the color temperature of your monitor to better match that of your surrounding. This means that it sets a cooler color temperature during the daytime (due to natural lighting) and sets a warmer temperature at night (due to indoor lighting). Similar to f.lux, this is a GUI port of the redshift project.

And of course replace redshiftg.ini with the your own - or adjust latlon=30.266900:-97.742800 (Austin, TX)
