Has anyone work it out and please share your methods. Thx

Flux 4.33 beta, windows 7 x64. Can't get tray icon to front. "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons" - show all icons is unchecked. When I set "Show icon and notifications" for flux, every time computer is restarted there is new entry for flux and tray icon is hidden.
I removed /nohide from executable but this brings flux window to front, not tray icon.

here the picture links since embedding didn't work:

Also I haven't noticed the problem when playing a video file with VLC or similar -- just from streaming.

My 5cents, disabling the auto brightness adjustment didn't help my issue.
What helped in my case is that I replaced the cable of the monitor.

lightning to D-SUB adapter with a D-SUB cable connected to the monitor -> constant screen refreshing waving/flickering effect (strangely only when flux enabled and color is warm)

HDMI -> DVI cable connected to the monitor - No flickering

I tried with 2 different monitors and I had the same issue / effect / resolution one LG and one Samsung. (Simply changing the D-SUB cable to another D-SUB didn't help, using another Lightning socket or adapter didn't help either)

@joankim Sorry that we disappointed you I wish you well.

Had a crash this morning. Machine was up, I could SSH to it, but the screen was dark and flickering. Rebooted and checked the system.log. This may be a GPU failure issue, but I figured I would throw this in for those with similar errors and a LOT of Flux messages, but the more I dug the more it seemed like the issue was my GPU and not Flux.

I've now updated my NVIDIA card with their drivers, maybe it is a GPU issue and not a Flux issue. Wait and see FTW!

@Tungsten_smooth said:

@Gentz Now you can open the magnifier and invert the colors (ctrl alt i). I think it's the APU not understanding the color inversion part.

Yeah, something somewhere is definitely not allowing f.lux to work correctly.

Thank you Elhem! I will give that a shot.

I'd like to have an option for flux to run on a per screen basis. I'd like my full screen games to be clear and colour accurate while youtube or anything on my second monitor is still easy on the eyes at night. If I disable flux for rocket league, then the other monitor is blinding while im playing. Also a lot of colour changes during alt tabs.

@TwoCables said in UWP f.lux:

Also, as you can see from the update page, it says "These pages are popping up too early for Windows App Store users. Sorry, we’re working on a fix!"

Sorry, I totally missed that! It's good information to know! I will probably just stick to Windows App in this case since developers know about the issue

Thank you for the very quick reply!

The issue with flickering when wake up the machine from Stand-by - issue still persists in even in the latest update.

When the flashing happens there is a log:

2015-08-14 1:42:47.991 AM Flux[589]: Display list confused, doing full reset.

I found a solution for my nvidia cards: Gnome 3.24 has a night mode included.
Only one color temperature, but it works.

Think this topics

This thread has been wonderful! Could we also dig up how much the chances are that offspring from adhd patents will have all this?

I have the Philips Hue color lights and I'm very happy with them so I thought I'd share how I have them set up with F.lux on my Windows desktop computer and my Amazon Echo in the event anyone reading this might benefit from it.

So I have the Philips Hue lights programmed to turn on automatically when the sun sets through an If This Then That recipe on www.IFTTT.com. The recipe works with the Weather Channel and it knows my location so once the sun sets, it then triggers the Philips Hue Channel to send instructions to my Philips Hue bridge, which turns on all the Philips Hue lights in my apartment. The color of the lights is the standard bright white that those lights emit if a color isn't chosen, but that's okay (for me) since it's just providing light when walking in the door.

Once inside, though, I turn on my Windows desktop computer and F.lux overrides the system and changes the color of the lights to what can only be described as a soothing yellow/orange glow much like that soothing glow of a Himalayan salt lamp. (I have no idea how it does this, but I'm very happy with it and it's very relaxing. And it even dims as the night progresses.)

The problem I encounter, though, is that I don't always have my computer on, so once the computer goes to sleep or turns off, the Hue lights then remain at that level of brightness until I change them or turn them off. It's not a big deal, but after reading this forum and learning that red light doesn't affect our circadian rhythm like blue and green does, I made another recipe on IFTTT recipe for a darkroom mode. The Amazon Alexa Channel listens for my trigger word, which is darkroom, and it instructs the Philips Hue Channel to change the color of all my lights to red. (The Philips Hue Channel allows you to name a color as well or use a CSS hex code. I tried a variety of them and settled on this one: #A00000.)

So now, about an hour before going to bed I tell my Amazon Echo: "Alexa, trigger darkroom." And she changes all the lights to red. I feel the difference just like someone else mentioned here about how it made them feel and that's now my nightly routine. But hopefully, once F.lux becomes fully functional I won't have to do this and it will just take care of it all.
