      It looks very similar to 5500 K ("Sunlight") filter on my monitor. Would love to hear from the developer what exactly this filter does.

        I wonder if an "outdoors mode" would be available soon as well. :|

          What would it do? If you are talking about when a display is hard to see due to how bright it can be outside, that's a problem that can only be solved by a display that has a much brighter backlight (but I doubt any kind of a display would be bright enough outside, except for special monitors that can get extremely bright). F.lux can't help with that.

            Like @TwoCables asked, I am wondering what you mean by that.
            f.lux v4 supports increasing the color temperature above 6500 K as well, which results in a bluish-sort of display. I suppose that can be handy for certain outside light conditions...

              Before F.lux, I tested Sunset-Screen 1.26 for a long while, and it has three options for outdoor mode, with "partly cloudy sky", "cloudy sky" and "deep blue clear sky". :/
              However F.lux is more complete for my needs, so I prefer to use F.lux for now. :)

                @scoenta Yes, f.lux v4 can do this as well. It goes up to 9300K and besides that you have several color filters to choose from. I have no idea how 20.000 K looks but I can only imagine it's an outright blue filter, which f.lux offers as well.

                  Oh thank you! By the way, this is the Youtube video about F.lux that makes me to use it. :)

                    But those settings are to simulate the colors. They are not saying, "This is for use outside on a cloudy day". Y'know? It's saying, "This is to simulate the color you see outside on a cloudy day" (or whatever the preset's name may be that you like). There's no need to use f.lux when you're using a computer or tablet or other compatible mobile device outside.

                      F.lux v4 has a range of 800K to 100,000K. Use Alt+Shit+Page Down and Up.

                        Thank you too for your good explanation! :)
                        Edit (1): SunsetScreen has a range of 500K to 9,854,736K (that means pure red and pure blue with no inverted colours at all).
                        Edit (2): anyway, a range of 800K to 100,000K should be enough for average required tasks or average computer environment.

                                  Whoa, I knew about the shortcut, and going down more orange, but hadn't considered how blue I could go! Thanks for that, I'm now at 50,000K very nice tint.

                                  @f-lux-team Bug or limitation, I have two GPUs (one low power and another higher speed) with each a monitor connected. When I use the shortcut, it doesn't seem to be affecting the other GPU or the other monitor, however you'd like to think about it. Is this a difficult configuration to work with? I understand the program changes the color tables for A GPU, but what about more than one?

                                  I'm completely mistaken, it is pushed to both monitors, whoops. The blue is just not very pronounced as I thought it would be, maybe I'll kick up the saturation.
