        This is quite frustrating. I prefer Safari because of the interface and how efficient it seems to be; watching a video in Chrome or Firefox uses up about 70% CPU whereas it is barely noticeable in Safari.

        Flash-based videos are fine but Youtube Center no longer lets me force the player type so I'm basically stuck using a non-preferred browser if I still want to use flux.

        First-world problems I know but still frustrating.

          updated to El Capitan 10.11.1, the issue still persists. Guess I'll be disabling f.lux when I need to watch fullscreen videos at nighttime. sigh

            @dsquareddan I am also doing the same. But it is getting tedious to always do so, when I watch a series of tutorials in a row. Any luck fixing this?

              The same issue I reported and someone did too in another topic.

              I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) 2,6 GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Intel Iris 1536 MB
              OSX El Capitan 10.11.1 (beta)

              This only happens with Safari. I watch videos in youtube in nightime with Chrome and it's ok. But already happen to me while watching Netflix through a new mac app (beta) called Smartflix.

                @herf Is there any chance that you could release the transparent icon workaround on the forums until the driver is fixed? I'd much rather lose some battery life than be unable to watch videos in fullscreen. I'm using an early 2014 MacBook Air so the Intel HD Graphics 5000 is my only video card.

                  I also have the issue on all hardware accelerated video.
                  I am using Safari Version 9.0.1 (11601.2.7.2) on OSX 10.11.1
                  Computer is a mid-2013 MacBook Air with HD5000.

                  I've had this for a really long time now, I think forcing the hardware acceleration off is necessary until there is a "good" fix for it. As soon as I move the mouse or exit fullscreen, everything is normal. But I can't or rather don't want to constantly keep moving the mouse through videos or streams (It happens on live streams, too - twitch.tv for example)

                      I can do the overlay in Chrome (where it doesn't help) but in Safari it creates a whole new desktop (fullscreen app through Mission Control) and is quite intent on making that the only app. It might be possible with a Safari extension, but it wasn't as easy as I thought!

                      El Capitan has a new splitscreen view...probably wouldn't help but someone could try it. :)

                        Also if you're seeing this on Youtube or somewhere we can test, please post a link.

                        This stopped failing on 10.11.1 on our Macbook Air (HD5000).

                          I still have the issue with 36.4 on El Capitan 10.11.1 with my MacBook Air 11" 2015. This is a video I just watched the following video, you can start at 1:00 and as soon as you stop moving the mouse, the artifacts appear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hirxcWeG4Q

                            Same issue here : MBP 13" mid 2015 osx El Capitan 10.11.1 using Safari, however, i dont have any blue fringed blue color on my mouse.
                            I really got used with f.lux colors at night, i can't disable it only for few minutes to watch a full screen video
                            So, the only way i found to avoid this bug is to let my mouse cursor on the the play button of youtube.

                              @herf Still happening on my Macbook Air (HD4000) w/ 10.11.1. seajay's youtube link earlier is a perfect example because of the white background right at the start.

                                Hi macbook air core i7 intel hd 5000 here and with El capitan 10.11.2 The last update i've just did the blue glow is here before i had no problem.

                                So sadly i decided to uninstall Flux 'cause the blue glow was very very annoying.

                                I hope you guys can solve it!

                                    Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 13". Intel Iris 1536MB graphics.. Having the issue as others have reported.

                                    Very obvious on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3HvchF49AM.

                                    It's been months since this thread was started.. is there still no fix?

                                    Cheers!

                                      This happens to me on this video (while in full screen), can be seen at around the 4:20 mark https://youtu.be/Ct9tSXbHL9M?t=4m16s
                                      I can confirm that it does not happen with Chrome, only Safari. I'm on 10.11.3 Beta (15D9c), MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
