Hmm - have you tried rebooting? You could also force quit the app under Activity Monitor and try restarting it.

Thank you both for your swift reply.
Lorna, I was hoping that someone from the team would get back to me, so thank you.

I'am a student, currently running a self written brief, out of Graphics studio in the UK.
I would be incredibly grateful if we could speak more, in order to rack your brains about everything F.lux? (Starting up, history, future prospects, etc.)

If you have a spare moment, please drop me a line at parkerjch@live.co.uk

Thank you

thanks so much lol it worked

@lorna , I didn't think she wanted to permanently disable f.lux's notifications, but just temporarily while she's eg. watching a movie. That's exactly the kind of thing "Do Not Disturb" is meant for. It has the advantage that all Mac notifications are silenced, not only f.lux's, and also that it will automatically re-enable at the end of the day, in case you forget to turn it back on.

@scapegoat , I meant the Mac's Notification Center, not the f.lux menu or preferences. Do you know how to open your Notification Center? If not, look at the link I posted above. The Do Not Disturb switch is above today's date, so actually you have to scroll up to see it.

Ok! I will try this and see how it goes

For the time being, I recommend changing your Location in f.lux to a place where the sunset has occurred already.

@herf
Thank you very much for the clarification! Now I understand I bit better what's going on.
I'll be waiting for a zero polling version in the future, thanks. :)

Perhaps you have Banners set as your alert? That could potentially cause them not to display.

Also if you dislike the feature, f.lux has an "Options" menu to turn it off in one click.

You don't need to use Location Services. Don't click the white button with the little arrow in it. Just enter "perth australia" into the box, and press Search. That will manually set your location.

I am trying to make the monitor emit only red light at night. Darkroom mode does this, but it is inverted, which is not what I want.

This is why I want all of the options (Daytime, Sunset, Bedtime) to range from 0K to 6500K.
