@JoeNola Hi Joe - sorry for this, we have started to warn that Intel Xe adapters (11th and 12th gen) have this issue, it's an unfortunate bug that's somewhat out of our control. If Alt+End does not reset it, a reboot could be necessary to do so.
It should be infrequent & only when someone is adjusting the lights external to f.lux....which I guess we expected would happen when you weren't using your PC, so this is kind of a debugging thing.
@cm223a We stopped doing this mainly due to Windows issues (but it also makes our privacy policy a little easier).
Our goal with the map is to show if you've chosen "Paris, Indiana" or "Paris, France" - I understand seeing more detail can help you be more sure that the location is correct, but the main goal is to be "close" but not exact with location. Since we do gradual fades, being within a minute for sunset/sunrise seems fine.
@sourdough05 yes it's important to calibrate displays. I can imagine doing some more of it in the future.
The "best" solution for this is to use a hardware calibrator like the i1display or the Spyder. These can account for not just the chromaticity of the whitepoint (like you describe) but the particular changes to render RGB properly also, and also they can make the "gamma curve" correct so that intermediate tones look right as well.
There are some apps that let you do this without the hardware, like QuickGamma: https://quickgamma.de/indexen.html and anything that adjusts ICC/ICM profiles like that tends to work with f.lux
@fluxr0x I would check first that "disable for app" is not turned on for VLC.
Otherwise it may be turning on a discrete GPU in your machine that resets the color settings, and the usual fix for that is to update all the video drivers. You can post f.lux options > driver info if you would like us to look.
@password you could try using our "LAN API" to post to a webserver that controls the keyboard. A simple python script could listen and f.lux would talk to it.
