@lech7 yes, it is a brightness backoff, so f.lux will not override other controllers' brightness settings.

However, f.lux will use its color settings all the time. There are some adjustments for how we map screen colors to hue colors, however.

@herf Backoff doesn't seem to be working for me at all. I'm in 4.131, I have Backoff checked, and when I use my hue app to change the color, the color changes right back to the f.lux controlled color a minute later. Pausing f.lux also doesn't pause the hue lights control.

@herf I'm having the same issue, with this driver info:

On my laptop's built-in display, the extra effects work, but not on the external monitors.

@lux1782 I think screens should dim quite a bit before bed, but also the ambient light in the room you're in matters a lot as well. So I would try to have some scheduled dimming in your room, and then dim the screen to keep it readable, but not bright. The color changes we do with f.lux account for another 3-10x in "equivalent dimming" but you should do both.

@GoldenRelik you can post "f.lux options > driver info" and maybe email us a video from your phone? (support at justgetflux.com)

hi sorry, about half the posts here are spam so we had to do the manual filter. it's mainly me - will try to keep up to date.

@fluxie can you email us your profile (ICM)? support at justgetflux.com

@fluxie it is the main download now, we are slowly rolling the update.

Once you remove it, your laptop should go back to the regular color settings.

Same here~
