ColorTint is a Gnome extension that draws a translucent coloured overlay over your desktop. This is to help people with dyslexia, visual stress, scopic sensitivity, and related conditions.
The easiest way to install is using the Gnome Extensions website. You can find ColorTint here
You can also install ColorTint manually by downloading the latest release and unzipping it into the Gnome extensions folder on your desktop. You can find a guide on how to do that here. You can also clone this repository and use the terminal command make install from the repo root directory.
I attempt to maintain backwards compatibility, but if an upgrade breaks support for a release that has reached end of life, I will update the table below to show which version of ColorTint was last verified to work with it.
| GNOME Version | ColorTint Version | GNOME Extensions Site Version |
|---|---|---|
| 44 | latest | 19 |
| 43 | latest | 19 |
| 42 | latest | 19 |
| 41 | v2.2.2 | 14 |
| 40 | v2.2.2 | 14 |
| 3.38 | v2.2.2 | 14 |
| 3.36 | v2.2.2 | 14 |
