Night Light make icon to stay in start menu after you turn if off

Can this be made, every time I turn Night Light off, to start it again I waist my time to look for it in settings menu.
Let the icon to stay on start menu.

Unfortunately, GNOME is missing this function currently. But there’s a workaround.

  1. Create a new File with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
# toggle nightlight
STATE=$(dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-enabled)

case ${STATE} in
    "false") dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-enabled true;;
    "true") dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-enabled false;;
esac

Save it to some location, like ~/scripts/nightlight.sh.

  1. Open a Terminal and type:
chmod +x  ~/scripts/night.sh
  1. Create a Keyboard Shortcut to execute this script in Settings:
    image

(Adopt all paths to yours)

Now you are able to toggle nightlight with this Keyboard shortcut

You only given different names to your file.
