Oh and to answer your other question, this happens as soon as the program is launched. I don't have to click anything inside the program, it just starts going from normal mouse icon to "working in background" mouse icon.

Again, I am unsure what causes this but it seems to be an issue with the program crashing and restarting but I am unsure if it is the entire program or not because the screen stays with the Flux settings still being used.

Currently getting the Purple haze when I have my mini USB monitor on. It's a DoubeSight DS-U70 monitor that runs off the DisplayLink USB monitor driver.

NVIDIA 23.21.13.8813: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (20171027)
DisplayLink 8.4.2250.0: DisplayLink USB Device (20171019)

Flux works just fine with the DisplayLink off but the moment I turn it on purple grey mess.

@jwsl1200mk2 you could try procmon too - it is not that hard to do... :)

I just want to point out that v4 is under promoted. There's no mention of it on the homepage. I've been using v3 for months now, chaffing due to the lack of exactly the features found in v4.

The only thing missing is complete control over the schedule and triggered transitions. Native support for TP-Link bulbs would be nice, but the point of this post is that the existence of v4 isn't obvious. :)

Love the software and some of its UX. I only wish it gave me more control.

thank you

@yland I just noticed that this thread started in 2015! Hope this helps someone anyway.

Just another sidenote while still having this problem, that when the mac returns from standby (monitor off etc.) to the login screen, the cursor color adapts to the flux-color, only when I am loggin in by inputting the password, the cursor changes to being 'white'. That may be interesting to anyone.

Thank you.

@usedtobeafan I have a LENOVO laptop, and this fixed my issue definitely.

It works not only for Snagit, but also for Snipping tool....

I did first look at this solution, but it didn't help me:

I have the same situation. I haven't figured it out yet.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Ok I just rewrote all this stuff. At least the recent apps should work a lot better.

@herf Thank you for continuing to incorporate increasingly complex features. They are fun and the scientific basis is fascinating!

Hi everyone - yes it is still one click to turn it off. However, without it, people do not set their wake time, and so f.lux cannot customize lighting based on this information. These two features work together, and I hope it isn't too hard to turn off the notifications if they aren't helpful - but we will leave it on for this reason.

@Elhem-Enohpi I want to thank you, again. You really helped me adjust my monitor. Today is a cloudy day with the sky full of white clouds, and you are right. They do send a lot of light through my office window, and I need a brighter, bluer monitor rather than a dimmer, yellower or redder one. So, I tried disabling Flux, and I could see the monitor more clearly. Then I turned up the brightness a little, and this helped, too.

Thanks, again.
