thanks we will look into this...

Yes, this is a nice idea - the trouble is that there has to be a patch of white on the screen so you can adjust the colors.

Otherwise we would do it right away. :)

@herf Win10. Apparently, it was not the latest version. I thought f.lux would auto update or at least tell me when a new version is available. After updating, the flickering was gone.

To be honest, I don't use it and I don't care for it. It's only there because some people wanted it for certain things, and Mike and Lorna (the f.lux team) felt it was worth adding and so they added it. You don't have to use it just because it's there. Hell, I don't even use any of the automatic settings. I keep all 3 color temperature modes set to 800K, and so when I want 800K I just launch f.lux. I don't even allow f.lux to start with Windows. I use probably 5% of the program's abilities, but I'm one of the biggest fans.

So, just use what makes sense to you to use and call it good.

Thanks all. Installing the newest Nvidia driver also fixed it for me.

I just want to point out that v4 is under promoted. There's no mention of it on the homepage. I've been using v3 for months now, chaffing due to the lack of exactly the features found in v4.

The only thing missing is complete control over the schedule and triggered transitions. Native support for TP-Link bulbs would be nice, but the point of this post is that the existence of v4 isn't obvious. :)

Love the software and some of its UX. I only wish it gave me more control.

Found it, thanks.

We use the Windows color profile for each display. You set it up in Windows control panel.

I think I found the problem. I have Datacolor Spyder calibration that was monitoring the system and so I exited that program and set slider to 3600K to match my lamp. Seems to be holding steady now. Thank you for the program to set Kelvin as needed/wanted.

If it's not working at all, then I'm sorry but I don't know what to do.

Well, you brought me luck anyway, it appears. I upgraded my graphic-card because of Payday2, and now it's perfectly working. Thank you for your help me with your comments, I appreciated it :)

Very strange. What did you have before the upgrade - and what do you hav now?

Ow, sorry! I didn't mean "upgrade", I meant "i downloaded the newest driver for my graphic-card". I hate technical language in english, so difficult for me to explain :'( forgive me :D
I have an AMD Radeon 7700 HD.

Interesting. Somehow, the previous driver was preventing f.lux from working! Wow.

@herf said in Please add disable by .exe:

f.lux should use the EXE name or the main resource name if it can find it. None of these should depend on what file is open/movie is playing.

We'd certainly like to fix bugs that keep our list of apps to disable from not showing up. We tried to show the "last two" apps so alt-Tab would always work. I guess we could make a longer list (like last 5 minutes?) if it is necessary....

Well, as mentioned in my post, it doesn't work for many apps, like battlefield 1. Also how many apps will it remember? What if I want to remove it? I'd first have to start the program etc.

That's why I suggested to simply add an option menu where you can add & remove .exes to a (black)list. This solves all problems.

Thanks

f.lux gets disabled when I run Windows Media Player in full screen (undesirable).

But what's worse is that when I turn off my laptop display and then turn it on, f.lux gets disabled and remains so unless I click on the f.lux icon in the tray! (I have set transitioning to 'Very Fast')

@Tylerr yes it will start quite some time before as the sun starts changing color and making a lot less light then too.

@TwoCables not possible through the hardcoded shortcuts. A change of the shortcut to disable until sunrise would already be great indeed (or a new shortcit for that). (I use kodi, a full-screen app I control just via gaming controller from bed. it's a pain to get out (needs keyboard) and find flux (needs mouse) on my cheap beamers pixlated image :) and than want to re-enable it when my gf fell asleep and I don't want to wake her again with some bright images)

Well if we did it right, it would be something like a jetlag protocol, where we change it gradually.

The trouble is that people might expect to shift 4 hours in one night, or something that the body can't do, but the gradual stuff we know how to do right, it's just a lot more user interface to do it. :)
