We still have to see if the "clamshell" mode is as easy to detect.

The bad part about this is the adreno drivers still say they fully support color controls, so we cannot detect it the usual way, we had to list the driver name in the app as an exception.

If it is possible, how do I do this?

The interesting thing is that this persists even when disabling f.lux or closing it entirely, but it only ever starts the instant flux tints the screen for the first time during PC runtime, which makes it 100% flux-related.

I also updated to Nvidia's new 610.47 driver at the same time as I updated f.lux, so it might also be a fault on Nvidia's side, but I still wanted to report it so it's known here

It seems that the application does not handle startup and background operation in a standard way. It is the only application I've encountered where I cannot properly configure it to start minimized and remain running in the background.

The issue is that its window appears every time Windows starts, even though I don't want it to. On the other hand, if the computer goes to sleep, the application stops running and I have to restart it manually afterward. (Latest Windows 11)

Thanks in advance!

Whenever this happens, the only way I can fix it is by either rebooting Explorer or manually toggling the app theme mode in Settings. Either workaround is annoying, unfortunately.

I've installed Auto Dark Mode in the mean time since their theme toggling code doesn't seem to have this issue - maybe their code is worth referencing. Thanks!

feel free to remove this offtopic post upon being read by admin, thank you

Latest installer is v.4.141. Tried to both update v.4.134 and full uninstall/re-install.

I always end up with v.4.134, as reported by f.lux itself and Windows Add/Remove programs etc.

After that, the lat, long (and the pin on the map) should match your location.

@terryd fnaf hi terry - this could be a lot of things, but the simple possibility is that f.lux could be crashing for some reason.

We made a major effort to remove our (rare) crash bugs in the latest beta, which I would recommend joining to see if it helps:

If this doesn't help, post back with f.lux options > driver info

The issue is completely resolved in this beta version.

Since most laptops have "brightness" keys already, we did not work very hard at finding an alternative for laptops. The trouble with hotkeys generally is that it is very hard to find one that doesn't conflict with another app.

We do support "surface keys" which allows Alt+F11 and Alt+F12 to do the same thing - you have to turn it on in f.lux options.

In a pinch, you might be able to get an app like AutoHotKey to alias those keys that we register

You may be able to open up registry.dat within the app folder from regedit, but I am not sure how it is protected. We probably should do this at the app level rather than make you do this kind of thing.

f.lux does not leave any state that's permanent in the system, so usually a problem like this lives in the driver, somehow or another.

Changing screen colors is unfortunately not a very good place to run multiple apps at the same time, as the order of what should go first is not defined.

I will make a change in the next beta and we'll see if anything breaks. thanks!

We did not have much luck getting a supported API (no root) working with f.lux, so we let it expire - the intention was to have it be a demo on the way to having a supported app.

I've got new DELL monitor P2425. Now compared to older P2422 (and cheaper one) color depth is much more deep in p2425.

There is no way to control depth (only brightness and contrast, I need HUE i guess) on monitor so the only way known to me was the color profile change

When setting up custom profile for my monitor (main one) I realized as soon as I turn on F.lux it messes up the profile (or using different one to operate

Here is how my color profiles looks like :

Now P2425 is main one, but for some reason it is second in list it is second

In windows its 3rd

Now I am periodical supporter, I am not demanding anything =)
It would be nice to have ability to either
a) operate differently
b) ability to select which color profile to use

I am right now forced to use windows night shift settings, not ideal, but at least I have desired color depth.

thanks for this brilliant program. Would it be possible to add an option or change the functionality of "Disable when using", so that only the used screen is affected?
Having more than one monitor, using a program in the dark can have quite the flashbang effect. It would be great if users could have better control over this.
If an automatic detection would prove difficult or too expensive for some reason, I personally wouldn't mind if I had to select the monitor, similar to the already available monitor selection option.

Thanks for the consideration!
