@hooddy Chrome is kind of a special case because they install a system-level service to handle updates. Most apps do not have this kind of privilege.

As it is, we often need to make rapid updates when Windows or drivers change, so only our corporate build installs to Program Files.

@PingableUsername this is almost certainly Intel's DPST and not f.lux. See if your manufacturer provides a way to disable it.

We sometimes do disable it because it interacts badly with our more extreme settings, but we do not enable it.

@tellner have you tried the "far from the equator" preset? Agree that you should be able to set some more parameters here too.

Make sure you're using the latest version of f.lux. Sometimes, updates include bug fixes and better compatibility with newer operating systems like Windows 11.

I think at the moment Flux currently doesn't provide the option to override the time zone data for your location, but you can manually adjust your system time to match your current location's time while traveling.

@JorIS I would like to see this too. Mac OS does have Color Filters under System Settings>Accessibility>Display, then at the bottom, but that is a bit to dig though to get to it.

Would also just like to add that if you live in california a bedtime based on sunset and sunrise can make sense. It really really doesn't if you live in northern norway.

@umtiagopereira We have experimented with it, but Macs like to sleep too much to be fulltime lighting controllers (even when we tell them to stay awake!) - also, the windows version works best using a desktop...

We are looking into a way to replicate this entirely on the Hue bridge (and would try to put that in macOS too). I guess the alternative is to run a raspberry pi somewhere and we could make that work too.

Do you know how they are connected? I think most macbooks can support 3 external displays but not 4. Does it work if it is shown all as one display?

@Capacitor-0 more fixes going up now in 4.128.

@illyn yes we overwrite that preset file from our online version periodically. Try making it read-only and see if it works.

@Myriam modern phone held 5cm from eye will get to about 1000lux, but 10,000 lux needs a standalone lightbox.

@bakjoul We released 4.126 to beta track today - it should be more careful to avoid reading old state immediately after startup. If you can flip the backoff preference back on we'd love to know how it works.
