      @septimus Okay, so Apple says the Mac Pro requires a compatible GPU upgrade, and I would guess there is some mismatch in drivers for your GPU? I don't know exactly what they have approved, but here is the note about it:

      https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208898

      Regarding dark mode: if you turn on f.lux's "dark theme at sunset" option it will manage toggling dark mode on & off (setting light theme if you exit). If you turn this feature off in f.lux, the system setting should stay the same. Latest f.lux is 39.987.

        SAME on my Air OS 10.14.6. It hasn't worked I installed 10.14.6..My display calibration is fixed to SRG IEC61966-2.1 It just acts as if Flux doesn't exist...Flux says it's running, but no flux sunset colors nor any yellow softer hues

          Hmm this was a problem in older versions - do NOT use the sRGB profile as your monitor profile, because it is not a display profile.

            macOS is set to use Dark Theme, when I quit f.lux it switches to the Light Theme.

            My Mac has a compatible nVidia GTX680 card.

            Whatever I do, move sliders, choose other color settings like Recommended colors, Classic f.lux, nothing happens. Like Usernames says, it seems like f.lux doesn't exist.

              @septimus Okay - two things then:

              1. If you uncheck f.lux options > use dark theme, f.lux won't change the theme anymore. It does not know what the system setting is, so you shouldn't expect it to uncheck this box for you.

              2. Apple and NVIDIA have not been maintaining drivers very well (none of the recent Macs use nv). You can search for this and see people all over quite mad about it. It's likely true that you've found a situation where macOS driver support is pretty rough.

              Otherwise, can you post what your active color profile is? system preferences > displays > color

                Apple's drivers for nVidia work quite well as they are part of the macOS, like I said the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition is fully supported. There's no need for the nVidia Web Drivers.

                Checking my monitor profiles I noticed that color doesn't change when selecting different profiles, maybe has something to do with this: https://imagescience.com.au/blog/mac-icc-profile-issues-with-10-14-6 and https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2645572

                  @septimus Wow, the Adobe thread has NEC engineers posting about how broken it is too.

                    Any idea what's going on? And is there something you can do about it?

                      Hi Septimus. I have a MacBook Air 2013 running macOS 10.14.6. F.lux is running just fine in clear and/or dark mode. The same problem happened to me with 10.13 ans was fixed by playing with the F.lux preferences. Sorry, I don't remember exactly which one.

                        Still on Mojave 10.14.6 I thought I'd report back as f.lux is working again after I created a test account to see if something's wrong with my current account and f.lux would work in the new account. It did and now it also works again in my old account... It's totally unclear to me why but somehow this also resulted in display profiles working again.
