Hello
Flux user for many years now. One feature I really miss is the ability to disable Flux when RUNNING, not USING, an application.
Use case:
"disable flux when USING some game" : fine, when I'm using the game, chances are I'm just doing this.
"disable flux when RUNNING photoshop": because when I'm using photoshop, I'm certain to alt-tab to my photo collection, or a firefox tab with sample image, and it's annoying to have to deal with the flashing
I feel this is a different use case of "disable flux for an hour", which I use for various scenarios not falling under a strict "disable flux when XXX" condition.
Thanks again for this excellent software.
So I created a fresh new mac user on my macbook and opened Flux to see if the problem happened under a clean slate account and it went away. The changes were smooth.
Then when I went back to my main account and tried flux the problem seems to have gone away. Hopefully that fixed it for good. I'll update if it reverts back.
Hi Tungsten_smooth! :)
My other health problems aren't eye related. I have joint hypermobility syndrome which means, for example, I can easily sprain my wrist brushing my teeth if I'm not careful. It affects my finger joints too so using a keyboard and mouse is a recipe for disaster lol. xD
I had not thought about my room lighting. I usually sit in my lounge when I'm on my phone. The lights are quite dim. A soft yellowish glow.
I had planned to purchase a new phone this year. I will definitely look into purchasing an iPad instead. The few times I've used one before, I got eye strain really quickly. I will use it a further distance + add some blue light defence. 8^) Thank you.
Hi scottr3,
I had the same problem on Windows. I would hold down Alt + PgUp/PgDn and nothing was happening. But the solution was simple I just had to hold the Fn key as well! I hope that works for you too.
Best,

Even though some customers could have expressed this in a kinder manner, I also think that more customisability would significantly improve the user experience. I would like to be able to shorten sunset time by a couple of hours, or set a continuum between sunset and bedtime rather than a sudden change, or decide to postpone bedtime a little bit. I understand the software is designed with attention to research on circadian cycles, and that is great, but I still think there needs to be some degree of flexibility. The user interface could contain contextual information so one can understand why a certain timing is recommended, and why there must be a minimum amount of hours without bright light, without forcing people to do so, if they don't want to. I am also wondering how the screen brightness has an impact on melatonine generation. I keep the brightness of my screen quite low, so when bedtime time comes, it gets really dark, too much to be able to work comfortably. Fine if it's 30 min/1h before going to bed, but 2-3 hours in advance, it's not ideal. Of course I can set custom colours but then I can't have a properly dimmed screen right before going to bed. I would definitely consider making another donation, the moment that this was implemented. Thanks for your efforts.
