f.lux beta (another thread)
-
@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.)
-
@herf Alright, thanks for the answer. Just wanted to make sure the issue was acknowledged.
-
@little-nemo if you can find our registry (HKCU/Software/Michael Herf/flux/Preferences you may be able to adjust "nightbri" and "latebri" to do this... I think they will work. :)
-
I have been using Flux for yrs, I now am at 4.28, the only real issue I have which didn't with older version is when playing a game it is slow to adjust and after I exit game, I have to mouse click on desktop so Flux focuses on that and then it dims to proper setting.
On feature set, since there are a lot of settings now, once you have user set (3 sliders set) it should be saved to a user profile.
This way if you want to use other modes you can easy switch w/o having to reset your settings. -
@Edkiefer thanks yes, we should have a save button for the settings.... named presets are coming
-
Are you still intending to implement some sort of chime for Philips Hue Bridge pairing? I have attempted to use this feature multiple times but it just doesn't seem to want to pair but I am not sure if it is honestly discovering the bridge in the first place.
-
It should chime and show a notifier for 30 seconds after you turn it on.
Does https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp have anything?
We use http://www.fiddlertool.com/ to debug Hue, so it may give you some insight. -
I really do like the beta version but the notifications can get annoying. Even if I go to notification windows and turn off f.lux's notification privileges it seems to reset the next day. Would love an option to mute notifications from f.lux.

There is one you can turn off: the Backwards Alarm Clock.
-
@TwoCables Yeah, I turned that one off as soon as I realized what it did. Problem is that I alt + tab between let's say Overwatch and Discord and I get the notification for f.lux has been disabled/enabled constantly.
-
The new menu with no direct access to "movie mode" etc is not my taste.
-
And the two curved lines in the main display give not really any important info (what do they mean anyway?) so I think it would be better to leave it away.

I made a post in this thread 3 days ago that attempts to explain it:

If you still have questions after this, then you can ask me. I think I got it all figured out now.
-
@TwoCables I still don't get what the two lines are. Is the amount of light sensitivity the darker grey area?

Yep, that's why the ball is dead-center on the part that shows the nighttime light sensitivity in my example where I show what it looks like if f.lux thinks you've been awake for 16 hours. How did I figure out that this is the nighttime section of the light sensitivity curve? It''s consistent. Truly, it's always there after 16 hours no matter what. Regardless of what my f.lux Location is, regardless of what my Wake Time is, regardless of what my computer's time is and regardless of what my time zone is, f.lux will always put the ball there if it calculates that I have been awake for 16 hours. The same is true for any other amount of time that f.lux thinks I've been awake.
So from this, you can study it by faking your Location, faking your Wake-Time, faking your system time and faking your time zone over and over and you will see how it works. You will see the same things that I did. Like for example, I found that the part where there's no light sensitivity (the thinnest part that's just left of center) is pretty much 6 hours after you wake up, every single time. It doesn't matter what your other settings are.
So, the bigger part is your personal "night", regardless of what time it is, and the smaller part (to the far right, extending into far left) is your personal morning. The thinnest part where the lines intersect is 6 hours after you've been awake (but f.lux simply calculates that by your selected Wake Time).

Notifications and tray icon changed in this one:

Well, I still don't get automatic updates on Windows 10 Pro Build 1703 :(
This problem persists since the beginning of the beta of f.lux.
Ideas?? -
@herf
I still have issues with 4.29 changing its xxxk value at random times during game, lately I am running BF1 and this game as many switches display a few times (start game, load screen, game menu, then loads game level).I have idea that might help, let me try an explain usage , If I run it at night I have my flux set to like 3400k, during the game it will randomly finally switch to this, but really in game, because of colors it not great.
What would be good is to be able to set the game to xxxxk, so per app value, this would probably fix both issues.
As in above game at night something like 4500-5000k looks good and at same time is not to bright.(Of course every app or process might be different). -
It appears I have lost the ability to disable by app in this new version. I only see the options to disable "for an hour" or "until sunset."

@timmotayyo
