Screen capture tools obtain the maximum warmth
-
Same issue here - using a Dell Latitude with DisplayLink dock with multiple monitors. Happens with Snipping Tool and also by pressing the Print Screen key and pasting into Paint.
-
For what it's worth, there is a workaround if you do screenshots of web pages specifically. Firefox Quantum has a nice contextual "Take a screenshot" feature that seems to be using a different approach to screenshots and does not need f.lux to be disabled.
-
@auching Yes - f.lux didn't work with USB-connected displays at all before.
-
Made a thread to document this all at once:

@herf I checked and mine isn't use DisplayLink screen. and this didn't happen before last major update.
-
@auching many docking stations use DisplayLink internally. suggest checking device manager to see if you have a driver like this, because it can be fixed with the new driver + registry
-
@herf Yes, I checked device manager and there are no DisplayLink in the list
-
@auching This is also why I linked to the thread here, which suggests unlocking your color range and rebooting - unrelated to DisplayLink:

Sorry to awaken this two year old thread... but i’m Actually trying to get flux to appear on a screen recording. I want to record a video the way it appears with the darkroom filter on, but it doesn’t appear when I attempt a screen capture. What is a good way to get this to appear?
Thanks,

Same here (7 years later)
When an additional monitor is connected (USB > Dock > HDMI), I got the same issue. -
@guillaume1978 this is because the dock does not provide traditional color controls, so f.lux has to emulate them using the GPU.
If the dock happens to be a DisplayLink one, you can sometimes add these controls back using the registry: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1886413-how-to-enable-night-light-or-f-lux-on-displaylink
