Also, keep in mind that a computer monitor is emitting light whereas paper is just reflecting light. So, it's almost impossible to find a consumer-grade monitor that will actually look identical to what's going to be printed. Then you also have to take into account the quality of the printer and the quality of your paper - and of course the room lighting you're viewing the printout in.

So yeah, this is extremely far from the scope of what f.lux is for.

@herf Ah, maybe I'll try contacting them and see if I can get any movement.

I must've missed that before.. Thanks!

Thank you very much! Now it works as before and even better!

v4.66 and crash is back...

I think Windows 10's Night Light feature is the culprit. Make very sure it's disabled.

Hi, thanks for your answer,

If I understand, you are thinking I want to control f.lux from external tool, I'm thinking about the other way around.

Anyway, are the registry keys reloaded automatically or should I restart f.lux to load them ?

Can the DDC/CI feature be released (based on preference of course) ?

Regards

I'm getting this too and it's driving me absolutely crazy. Why is this happening?

Need an option to both return to previous version [of Flux] and to notify but not auto-update when a new update is available. A secondary settings window of all apps for which auto-disable activates (which requires UAC elevation to add-remove apps) would also be intuitive and helpful (along with a programmable key command which brings up aforementioned window).

On Windows 10 1709 (16299.192).

Please fix/TIA

Yes we haven't pushed 4.66 to 4.55 users yet - just all the ones before it.

It's at the point we think it's better than 4.55 but we are waiting to be sure.

@chevalduvent
Thanks for the tips.

Playing around with the settings, mainly location and earliest wake time, I think I got it close to what I want. (Not really sure though because there's no time shown on the curve, so I don't know when the transitions actually start until the time comes. Adding time to the curve would be a nice addition too.) Didn't make the nighttime brighter because that would mean I'd lose the actual nighttime colors which I think are important IF I happen to stay up late. It also serves as a good reminder that I really should be going to bed when the screen goes totally orange.

Anyway, I don't think the setup should be this difficult that you have to "trick" the program to get what you want. The option to customize an app to your liking is always appreciated.

@TwoCables Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try that.

@maliciouswolf Alt-end will kill Darkroom mode, which I think is probably what you are seeing.

I have a possible solution for you then. Control f.lux manually. What I mean is, at anytime you want, use Alt+Shift+Page Down and Alt+Shift Page Page Up. Or, move the slider in f.lux to your desired color temperature - again, whenever you want.

@TwoCables well I don't see gaming mode in the settings, and if I watch it the screen. it doesn't just transition. It acts as if flux just takes forever to load then BOOM it jumps to the setting it should be in once loaded.

Oh, I missed something you said before; f.lux isn't even running when Windows is coming out of Hibernation. I have no idea if they can make Windows prioritize f.lux. Coming out of screensaver though? I don't have that problem. F.lux affects my screensaver and so f.lux is still at my preferred color temperature when I deactivate the screensaver.

I don't use Hibernation though because my computer starts up so quickly that I don't need Hibernation. So, that's why I have no experience with this issue.

@warmlumens said in Version 4.55 Bloated:

While we are at it, I also never liked how when you click on the window it runs through a 24 hour preview. At night when my eyes are adjusted to low white and I accidentally click the window I have to react to close my eyes as it runs through the preview.

It's not any part of the window; just a specific part of it. The current beta version doesn't do this. On the first left-click on the graph it switches to the 3-slider view. On the 2nd left-click of the graph, it does the preview. Then it cycles back to the first click and back and forth, back and forth every time you click. So, click 3 times, and you get the 3-slider view, then a preview, then the 3-slider view again. Click a 4th time, and you get the preview again. I know how confusing it sounds, but it's just a cycle between left-clicking once and then left-clicking again.

Hi @herf , so I can see you've had a few more requests for the ability to control the length of transition since I posted my suggestion. (and there were probably some before that I hadn't seen). I am guessing from all the posts you've probably got a bunch of other priorities in front of this feature request. Are you able to let us know if this option is likely to be offered and if so any sort of time frame?
