Feature Request: Custom color tints for shaded screen #45

First off, great app! Very useful, love the simplicity.

Thought it would be neat if there were a feature allowing you to customize the colors that shade the screen? I've attached a couple photos to show an example. The photos are from a paid app - NightTone - which seems similar to Shifty.

*notice the options to select a color, or open the color picker to choose your own.

*notice the orange tint to the shaded screen

This is simply not possible, Shifty uses the Night Shift functionality provided by macOS, and you can't change the color for that. Also I want to note that what Night Shift and Night Tone achieve completely different goals. The latter just applies a "color filter window" above everything, Night Shift instead changes the monitor color profile to block the colours that are more "harmful" in low light environment for the eyes.

Ah I see... Thank you for the response and explanation!
