f.lux beta (another thread)

@lbux_ said in f.lux beta (another thread):
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
I had this happen to with web browser , but the option pop up after while, right now its gone for me as I write this. -
@Edkiefer I think I found issue, if the disable menu pops up to the right I lose the 3rd option to disable the app, but if it opens to the left I see the option.
At least so far it seems like that. -

As of flux beta 4.33 I've still got this issue (originally posted on April 22):
https://forum.justgetflux.com/post/13621I recorded a short video illustrating the problem. I'm recording the external (primary) monitor which has a set brightness (30 percent) and adjusting the brightness on my laptop's (secondary) monitor using the W10 action center.
As you can see, the higher the brightness set on my laptop's screen, the darker the image becomes on my primary monitor. When the laptop's screen is set to 0% brightness, the colors on my primary monitor look washed out and the whole picture sort of looks like being behind a fog.
Is something wrong with my setup/settings? This has never happened in the stable version (3.12 I believe).

Hello, can I please get a reply?

Flux 4.33 beta, windows 7 x64. Can't get tray icon to front. "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons" - show all icons is unchecked. When I set "Show icon and notifications" for flux, every time computer is restarted there is new entry for flux and tray icon is hidden.
I removed /nohide from executable but this brings flux window to front, not tray icon.
