Redshift not working ?

Hi, I have installed and enabled redshift as a service, following the wiki.
And it starts but I see no difference.

Any ideas on how to make it work ?
Could this be related to the fact that I am running arch linux in virtualbox ?

Maybe, try "redshift -O 3400".

Just gave it a try. While it doesn't complain. there is no visible effect.
Here is the terminal output:

~: redshift -O 3400
Using method `randr'.
~: redshift -O 6500
Using method `randr'.

Why won't you use redshift on host instead ?

My host is windows 7, which I use mostly for games (when I game).
So I like being able to switch between an enviroment that is optimized for work  and comfort (the guest) and the one that simply runs the game I want without using time on switching color corrections & etc (the host).

Thus I would like to have redshift working on the guest arch linux.
