    F.lux doesn't work for very northern/southern countries (e.g. Finland)

      I'm living in Finland. At the moment, sun rises around 9.40am and sets around 3pm. The default "curves" in f.lux are unusable for me:

      I've been now using my computer for an hour, and f.lux is still "sleeping". I would like to see white light in the morning to wake up!

        Couldn't agree more. The beginnin and end of preferred "daytime" should be customized.

        Or maybe there could be another buttons in addition to "when i wake up": "when i go to sleep".

          Instead of entering a city/town/village name; have you tried entering 'your' latitude and longitude coordinates?

          If you do not know what they are, try here... http://heavens-above.com/SelectLocation.aspx?lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT

            @philip-r That is not the problem, flux does detect the location correctly. In this latitude, sun just behaves differently. What I would like to do is to get warm colours in the evening before sleep and blue light in the morning after getting up. In a climate like this flux would need manual settings...

              In the newest build (39.94) there is a "far from the equator" preset that may help.
