f.lux beta (another thread)

@AlbertBaer Thanks for the note on the monitor...will think about how to make it so we can debug the settings.
Regarding standby: which OS version and GPU are you using? And 4.21 did not have the trouble?
-
@herf Yes. I'm back to 4.21 now and f.lux colors are right there when monitor comes back from power saving standby. It's latest Win10 creators update 64bit Pro. And GPU is ancient GM45 ;-).

Yea, i'm having the same problem, as i reported here yesterday: https://forum.justgetflux.com/post/13522

What exactly Software mouse cursor (fixes "white cursor") does in this new build? I see it's not using MouseTrails in the Registry.

I know you're looking for an answer from Mike or Lorna, but it looks to me like it's doing the same thing that the Windows Magnifier is doing.
-
@TwoCables Hmm, but the Magnifier process is also not running. But yes, probably isn't something new.

Oh I didn't mean to say that I thought the Magnifier was being used.

Great! No "coming back from slumber" issue and "greenish color" issue any more on my external monitor with 4.26.
-
The software mouse cursor isn't working for me in 4.26. I went back to 4.25 for now so that I don't have to worry about it until you can check it out.

@TwoCables You can also get it via link, as usual, at: https://justgetflux.com/flux-setup4-25.exe
So, thanks for the link. hehe

(version 4.26)
Hi
Nice to see Philips Hue integration working again!
Unfortunately, with the current features it is quite unusable for me. Here are some of my issues:
It controls all lights in the setup, I can not specify individual lights. I only want to control the light behind my screen.
Brightness is always set to maximum. I would like to set the brightness myself. It is too bright in the evening.
I can not set the max. color temperature.
I'm aware, that the Hue integration has no priority, still, it would be very nice to have more options!
Thanks for your work!

(version 4.26)
Hi, nice changelog. Tried the
Vignette modebut on multiple monitors, the white spot is in between of the two.
Would be great to choose the weight of Vignette (radius and effect)Another thing, even I think the interface is not user-friendly. There is more options now, that is great but I'm missing for example the
settingsbutton. Now I have to right click and choose the third from top.
I would rather see: 1st - Open F.Lux, 2nd - Settings, Next-to-least - About., Least - Exit F.Lux
And move Change location to Settings. Or to main window as button. This is option that is set once and forgotten. It should be somewhere where it is not in the way for other things.Disable for...does not work when I have open F.Lux window. When I minimize it, click on Sublime Text, right click on F.Lux task icon, there is Disable for Sublime Text and Disable for Chrome. But when I'm focusing Chrome, Disable for only shows Chrome, not Sublime Text. Weird :-)I find it kind of disrupting that when I have opened F.Lux window and I lose focus (click on Chrome / Away for a second) it will
minimalize itselfin like 5 seconds... Please disable this. Or make it an option in settingsWhen mouse is pointing on the waves diagram, it would be cool to show vertical bar with
time stampso I would see the time. Reason: I set a random location somewhere thousands of kilometers from my location to "pinpoint" settings when it will go down. But I don't see anywhere the exact time. Just guessing.And the last one: Is it really so problematic to add to the main window
User-settingof time?- Daytime: 6AM, Temp: ...
- Sunset: 21PM, Temp: ...
- Bedtime: 23PM, Temp: ...
- Transition: Immediate | X minutes
(Just like you have it in the Adjust all colors at once but with those time settings on the left of the movable bar.)
Everyone would be happy in my opinion. I understand you had a LOT of work with the location system. But give users the availability to change it to user-specific times. Some people go to be at 8PM, some at 2AM. Night owls.
Anyway, great improvement. Those are only my points. I love your program. So I would love it to be even better :-D
-
@little-nemo thanks - these things are on our list... and we even have the brightness parameters internally (just no UI for them yet). Hopefully soon (but probably not this version).

The reason why Chrome shows when you do that is, it's giving you the option of also disabling f.lux for Chrome in addition to your other program. If you want to undo disabling for a program, then just make that program the last thing in focus before you go to f.lux.
You don't need to see the exact time. The ball that's on the curves shows you where you are and what your light sensitivity likely is. It is based entirely on your set wake-up time. So, it's best to just focus on where the ball says you are in your likely light sensitivity based on your wake-up time.
If you don't want to tell f.lux when you will be waking up, then tell it when you woke up by simply choosing the time that you got out of bed that day. Simple. :) That way, you'll always be able to look at the ball to see what your most likely light sensitivity is. Adjust your "wake time" and you'll see. Keep doing it and keep studying where the ball ends up. Before long, you will know how to read it.

@TwoCables I know how to enable/disable. I was just wondering why after focusing Chrome there is only Chrome and after focusing Sublime there is Chrome and Sublime. But maybe I was just quick and there is some time limit like 10s or sth like that.
Time: Ok so... If I print screen my f.lux setting, when exactly will my screen begin to dim? MyFluxLocSettings

Hi.
Currently I am using beta 4.26 version. I have a question and suggestion.
How to change the color changing time schedule (like the newly added 'Adjust all color at once')?
If it's not available in the application, then is it possible to add this feature. because its always change the color automatically, but I want to set the timing manually. I have found that there is only one time change option available but I want Daytime, Sunset and Bed time change slider at the same time manually. Hope you understand my point.
Thanks

I just told you why. It's doing that so that you can disable Chrome in addition to that other program (multiple programs instead of only 1 at a time). I was not trying to tell you how to disable and enable.
I can't tell you when your color temperature will change because I don't know what time you took that screenshot at. I don't know what time zone your in. So again, continually play with your wake time setting and you will soon get a feel for what you are looking at.
Is your sunset really in 1 hour? It doesn't matter. What matters is, does that ball really represent where you are in terms of your most likely sensitivity to light? Do you feel that you've been awake long enough that you will want to go to bed in maybe 3-4 hours? Judging from where you are on the curve, you should be thinking about going to bed in a few hours.

Hello.
I use DisplayCAL to calibrate my monitor. Since the 4.22 update where you added "Use Monitor Data", f.lux resets my calibration when I open it no matter what time of day it is and whether or not the "Use Monitor Data" setting is checked. Is there any way for me to fix this? So far I've been forced to return to f.lux 4.21 in order to keep my calibration in tact. -
@TwoCables It looks like they might have taken the screenshot in proximity of 7:45 pm? (Not sure that helps, but...)

I see why you think that. Nevermind. I had a much worse post than this, so yeah this post isn't the original version.
It says they've been awake for 12 hours. However, they said they manipulate the time zone quite a bit.
So, yeah, I know what I'm looking at here, but considering how unique their usage of f.lux is, I can't go by that screenshot.
