Do you mean the "favicon" on our website?

@herf OK, thanks for the info!! Lots to digest.

What does the error say?

@lorna Yes, I would like help. I don't understand the ins and outs of this.

Avez-vous redémarré? Fais ça en premier, puis, désactiver la luminosité automatique (et redémarré).

This option is off by default - if you turn it on, it does what it does.

I confirm as I already have 2 external monitors, on a 15 inch 2017 MacBook Pro what is connected via a DisplayLink docking.
Only the laptop monitor is being configured.

@lllusion said in How do I tell f.lux what my bedtime is?:

choice

For my routine, I make f.lux switch to orange starting around 7 pm if I want wake up time to be between 6 and 7 am. When sunrise is 5 am, I would make the color change start about 6 pm. My wind down involves listening to relaxing music.

I set my routine based on the the sunrise time. Some times the sunrise is ridiculously early, and others it is nice and late. When it is 5 am, my routine is forced to be as much as 2 hours earlier than the 7 am sunrise I like in winter.

I guess this is mostly about when it's still not bright enough. Like a 30-60 minutes after and before sunrise. Though before it should already work.

I just now found this after installing flux a couple of months ago. This has been driving me absolutely crazy.

If it helps here are my specs:
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and Flux 39.983
iMac - 27 inch (mid 2011) - 3.4GHz Intel Core i7
8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048MB GPU

Also running a Dell U2713HM 27 inch Display as a secondary monitor.

@Astalker No chance yet. I'm just using the contrast option from MacOS itself.

So far there is no way for f.lux to edit the themes, or at least have a way of changing the default red color to green.

Good question and since I wanted to know the answer too I went hunting for it.

The answer is good news and bad news. The good news is it's all in one preferences file here: ~/Library/Preferences/org.herf.Flux.plist

The bad news is that it is saved in the binary plist data format, so chances are that if you edit it manually with a text editor then there's a good chance you'll break the file format and thus all the existing saved preferences.

If you decide to do it anyway, then make absolutely sure you make a backup copy first.

The simplest and simultaneously safest way to do this is to do this:

Open a terminal (e.g /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and change to a temporary directory somewhere. For this example I use a flux specific directory in my home directory:

cd ~/dev/osxapps/flux

Copy the preferences file there:

cp -p ~/Library/Preferences/org.herf.Flux.plist .

Convert the binary plist format to XML:

plutil -convert xml1 org.herf.Flux.plist

Open the file in the text or XML editor of your choice. I usually use oXygenXML Editor for dealing with XML, but it's proprietary, very much not free and *significantly overkill for this. Emacs or Atom are more than fine for something like this situation and provides semantic display of the elements. I decided to add disable values for iBooks by inserting two lines and editing a third:

<key>disable-com.apple.iBooksX</key> <true/>

The edited line ws just below to change the integer value for the disableCount element. It originally had five apps and now I made those lines say (only the second of these two are edited).:

<key>disableCount</key> <integer>6</integer>

Once that's done, save the XML file as is and convert it back to the binary format:

plutil -convert binary1 org.herf.Flux.plist

Make absolutely certain you have a backup of the original file:

mkdir backups cp -p ~/Library/Preferences/org.herf.Flux.plist backups/ ls -l backups/

Close Flux and then copy your edited version into the original file location:

cp -p org.herf.Flux.plist ~/Library/Preferences/org.herf.Flux.plist

Launch Flux again and enjoy your new settings! :)

By the way, the example I used here I was trying the first time while writing it and it worked flawlessly.
