flux sunset.png

Hi , i have the exact same problem !
did you found a way to fix your issue ? except shutting down f.lux and launching it again, didn't found other way to fix the problem.

computer specs are :

Windows 10 pro x64 2004 last uddate
last f.lux version
last Ndvida drivers. (July 2020)
Asrock M-itx A/C H270 mother board
32Gb G.Skill Ram
i7-7700 cpu
Seasonic M12 power supply
and GT 640 Nvidia card.

f.lux will smooth your wake timing for about a week before the time change.

Well that failed because it is still doing the same thing, very quickly changing from low brightness to high brightness. There is no smooth or slow transition like the setting should enforce, it is just an instant change.

I do have the current colour set to 1200K Ember. I do also use the Adjust day and night colours together and it is set to 1200K but do not know whether that makes any difference.

My main concern is with making my computer usable and comfortable to use. I do use browser extensions (Dark Background & White Text) to eliminate white page backgrounds. Most in the CFS/ME/Fibro community have this problem and a shifted body clock and some also have sleeping difficulties.

To get the best possible match between your monitors, calibrate them to the same color temperature, brightness and gamma settings if possible. Use the monitor with the lowest brightness as your common denominator for all the other monitors.

@equest said in Remove from System Tray Notification:

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

How do I remove the flux icon from the system tray notification area/

Add it to the hidden icons.

any news on this....?

The "earliest wake time" setting used to work for this. My sunrise is 5:15.
I set my earliest wake time to 3:30am.
I remember if I would stay awake all night at 3:30am I would be flashed with bright light.

My reason is I want to wake up at 3:30 am I managed to wake up today at 4:am.
My screen was still red 2800K

Only at 5:59 it was disable even though my sunrise time is 5:15 as per my location

I don't see any setting and I am pretty sure when I used to wake up early I would see my bright screen and that helped me stay awake if I didn't want to sleep. I would just work on my computer in bright daylight setting and at 4am all my sleep would vanish.

Now this is making me drowsy

I would also like a nice low dip from 5:pm till 7:pm a nice curve.
but can't set that. My sunset timings are 6:45pm.

@Crimsonum I got rid of the dip by setting my location much further south. now its back to normal.

While the certain application is running, go to the f.lux icon in your taskbar and right click on it, then click disable and there should be a list of the current running applications. Just select yours and you should be good.

The installer is created by NSIS thus you can use command lines to customize the installation folder
e.g

flux-setup.4.111.0.0.exe /D=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Flux

You can refer to https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter3.html for details.

Another minor issue observed is that after keeping flux running under %ProgramFiles(x86)% or %ProgramFiles%, clicking the "Update" button from the 4.118 update notification will do nothing. That may be caused by a lack of administrator priviledge. In that case, remember to rerun it as adminstrator or disable the update notification.

f.lux does require a restart (of f.lux only) when you change your profile.

We used to detect changes and update automatically, but there was a huge memory leak in Windows that made our detector expensive, so we stopped doing that.
