I fixed the problem on my machine. I opened up the flux preferences .plist file and removed the name of the profile listed, then restarted flux. It now correctly loads the profile I have selected.

Interestingly, the profile flux kept loading was one with a long UUID tag (if that is the correct term for it) in the name.

@wendeyaho how old is your child? Can you talk to him or her about bright light at night?

I have this same issue. Color profile changes at odd times, sometimes even when I quit flux.

I have been keeping my eye out for a reproducible trigger for this behaviour, but so far I haven't identified a specific trigger.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
OS X 10.11.6
Flux 37.7

nope, I don't see any issues with color, just thought it would be cool to have different wake-up settings, but that's a good idea with just enjoying the extra hour

@tdogzthmn I really don't like "white" leds because they are purplish in tone. Anyway Apple would have to use color changing leds so you'll have to get a different keyboard and turn off the backlight on the built in keyboard to achieve the effect.

We install a system profile every time we make a "major" change, to ensure your dual GPU mac can switch video cards without it being noticeable. Some apps also listen to this change and try to update their UI.

Since it sounds like Java is doing something very expensive, I recommend you disable our profile writer, using the prefs on this page ("disableProfile"):

There may be some flickering if your machine switches GPUs but it's preferable to anything taking 10 seconds.

Hi, has there been any progress in this matter? Such functionality would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

@herf It seems to work on my system. VLC<>other back-and-forth works, and transitions are now smooth again. Thank you for the fast bug fix!

Yes, exactly. It would just make it easier to make an adjustment if I'm realizing that my screen is getting darker but for that particular moment I'll be working late.

@MrDean76 just go to preferences and set your wake time and it should automatically darken at the right time

@Chuck aaand... Virus Total report "changed" to 0/55 out of 1/55.
