@anewoman on some Macs, the f.lux icon will be hidden when using an app with too large a menu. If you switch to a different app, it should appear again.

It could also just be that f.lux is not running, so find the icon in Finder and run it again to be sure.

@herf I'm unable to bring up f.;ux at all. I can be on this forum, but I'm unable to find a way to set it at all.

Had this same problem. Solved by moving the application to my Applications folder and running it from there. I was running it from my Downloads folder.

Still not working after v42.1 update.Screen Shot 2022-12-03 at 2.05.21 AM.png

Has anyone tried disabling the profile writer? Go to Terminal and type:

defaults write org.herf.Flux disableProfile 1

Then go to system prefs > displays and make sure to delete (or deselect) the f.lux profile if there is one.

I have this weird issue with f.lux and just one app (my IDE).
I recorded it in youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6HZXV3whCY

f.lux 42.1

Just updated to MacOS 12.6.1 but had this problem before; applied the fix and removed it via your instructions and voila -- everything works!


Thanks.

Use the keyboard shortcut Windows + A to open the Action Center, revealing a brightness slider at the bottom of the window. Moving the slider at the bottom of the Action Center left or right changes the brightness of your display.
