Thanks. I think the online complaints had given me an exaggerated impression of how bright these phenomena are. And photos taken in a dark room also tend to exaggerate the brightness. If they produce moonlight light levels (0.3 lux or less), I would agree I have nothing to worry about.

@Alexx right now it knows about each bulb but doesn't have UI for separate controls yet.

I found an INEXPENSIVE solution: use a min-DisplayPort -> DisplayPort cable. BOTH external displays are controlled by F.lux.

More details:
I discarded the USB to a DisplayLink to VGA cable, and replaced it with a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. You can find cheaper cables elsewhere. The Thunderbolt port on a Mac is a Mini DisplayPort.

@herf OK, that's really interesting. I hadn't heard that being in limited color mode had any adverse effects. Since I wouldn't use the extremely high or low parts of the range, it seemed better to leave it off. If I come across where it's configurable, I might try it again, though I think I probably already have inadvertently enabled it via the taskbar popup (I just haven't rebooted yet in order to tell).

I recall this was solved by completely uninstalling, then reinstalling with admin rights. I appreciate this isn't always possible though.

But do you think this alarm would be inconvenient in a crowded place?

@lorna It’s a full-screen game that doesn’t give me access to the menubar. Doesn’t even let me command-tab out of it. So I was hoping to be able to type in the name or path somewhere.

Unfortunately I will need to install the old version until this is fixed. I can't stand notifications of any kind, so having no ability to remove or disable them means I can't use this version of the software.

If you use Recommended Settings, f.lux will not change your default system color temperature until local sunset.

I don't use the intel graphics card, I only use the geforce gtx. But thanks for answering anyway, appreciate it.

I wanted to precise that it's using High Sierra, with a GeForce GT 640.

@LordLarsa said in Blue light damage your skin:

Thanks for your answer.

I indeed stay out of the sun and wear suncream when I go out.

I'm always working all the day in front of my computer, I literally spend my life on it. But do you think warm colors like NightLight or F.lux light eliminate the risk to affect my skin?

I did some research, and it turns out that LCD and LED monitors do not emit any harmful light for whatsoever - not for our skin OR our eyes. The only monitors that DO are the old CRT monitors (the really big bulky ones). The only thing "harmful", if you want to call it that, is the amount of blue light emitted. Blue light is alerting. It can delay or suppress or interrupt melatonin production at night. That's the only thing that's harmful about the light emitted from LCD and LED monitors. It's only harmful to your circadian rhythm.

Another month without an update gone...

@rds00 said in f.lux not compatible with Android Oreo 8.1:

Its been 4 months and no new update yet. I might have to use a different blue light filter application for now. Hey f.lux I'm still waiting for you to update.

I was begging too...But no luck so far
