f.lux beta (another thread)

@opensan said in f.lux beta (another thread):
I'm on 4.21 and it doesn't play nice with Windows 10 (toast) notifications. As there is no option in the program's menus, I switch off the sound or even the notification altogether in WIndows Settings (screenshot attached), but after a system restart, f.lux resets the notifications, creating a new entry in the notifications app list.
As if f.lux is registering a new instance with the notification system each time. Kind of annoying. I'd love in-program options or a fix for playing nice with Windows system.Otherwise I love what you did with per-app options. Been waiting for it for ages.
Oh this is the same problem I just reported, sorry for duping. It's because of the path of the exe changes with every update
-
Oh also, an option to not popup the changelog on every update? It's like a scare jump for me :)
-
It's still broken.

BTW shouldn't there be an option to stop f.lux from running at startup? I know the point is to integrate the program seamlessly with windows but an option would still be nice.
This.
I am always disabling it on every single update by deleting this Registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run f.lux* (it's in the right-hand pane)
I don't need it or want it starting with Windows.
-
@TwoCables I usually disable it in the Windows 10 Task Manager or CCleaner when I need to. I find that much easier.

I have Windows 7, so I have to delete that Registry sub key. I refuse to use CCleaner for any reason as well.
For me, getting it out of the Registry is super fast because I have that main key as one of my Registry 'Favorites' (among others). It's a 'Run' key, and so it's useful for more than just stopping f.lux from starting with Windows.

Yeah that's another issue caused by the installer

I have no issues caused by the installer.

Also, I was using 4.25 when 4.27 was pushed out and I had my automatic updating turned off. Yet, I still got the "f.lux is updating" page even though f.lux didn't update (until I decided to allow it to update).

If the installer has no option to not set the reg key then yes, it is

We were talking about having the option be in the UI. We just need a simple option in the UI to choose whether f.lux starts with Windows. That way, the installer can stay simple and those who shouldn't be messing with this won't be enticed to.

Hi there,
I have been waiting patiently for the new windows version to come out. However i'm really bummed out that there is no ability to SET CUSTOM TIMES. I live in Alaska, almost NEVER is the sun agreeable with my work and sleep schedule. There were promises in past forum posts by the developers that this was to be included!
While I like to travel, constantly changing the location on the Flux map is not what I had in mind.
If I have somehow missed it, forgive me and tell me how to do it. If I have not, please consider adding it as soon as possible! There really is no other way this program will be useful for me anymore over Win 10 built in.
Thank you,
Max -

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!@herf said:
@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).
That's nice! Looking forward!

I've been using the Beta for two weeks or so and I like some of the new features - mainly the ability to automatically go a bit "deeper" late in the night. However there have been some issues as well.
One gripe of mine has been the (often mentioned) taskbar bug where the f.lux icon resets itself to the 1st (visible) position on every restart.
The other is related to my specific setup which is a dual-monitor: Primary (external HDMI monitor) & Secondary (laptop screen). I've noticed that f.lux beta adjusts my gamma (for the lack of better terminology) on my Primary monitor depending on the Secondary (laptop) monitor's brightness. This happens even during the day. I normally keep my laptop at 25% and external monitor stays always at 30%. However when I play with brightness values on the laptop monitor (for example in the Windows 10 action center) and going from 0% > 25% > 50% >75% > 100% the picture on my primary external monitor changes as well even though its brightness is still set to 30%.
0% brightness on laptop results to something like 1.1 gamma on external monitor (colors look a bit washed-out and the whole picture is sort of like "looking through a fog").
25% = 1.05
50% = 1.00
75% = 0.95
100% = 0.90I since switched back to the regular version since it allows me to maintain more vibrant (not so washed-out) colors independently on the brightness settings on my laptop's monitor. Even with only 25% brightness on laptop I'm getting nicer colors (0.9 gamma) on my external screen.

@K4m1k4z3 thanks - this should not happen except at the most extreme dimming settings. We will fix.

Still has this bug with the task tray.
After each Windows (10) reboot, it forces itself back here.
I want it to stay here like it did before.
-
Yeah he hasn't said anything about trying to address this yet.
For the record, I don't hide any of my Notification Area icons.
-
@No.794 we are working on this - we've added about 20 features, and we want people to have a chance to see them before the icon is hidden.
It is hard to explain how big the difference is between savvy users and the less sophisticated ones that don't know how to find the app, but we get hundreds of emails about "how do I change settings? every day. (But it will not stay there forever, especially for people who don't want it to.)
