@cxuj6464 It really depends on what the GPU manufacturer is doing (sometimes things break in driver updates since Win7 was EOL in 2020) - I would try a few different drivers (maybe older ones) to see if Win 7 support still works using those.

@macuser usually those are announced here as a direct link. We did not roll out any of our Tahoe fixes as Apple fixed the bugs before Tahoe went live.

Are you having issues with a current release?

@fluxhelpme yes you can set the wake time one hour earlier for now.

@rich-vine1252 there is a toggle in the "f.lux > Color Effects" menu that makes f.lux do this switch automatically. It should be off by default, but it sounds like you want to make sure it is off on your Mac also.

@Alfal yes this is a known issue and reported to Microsoft - we usually see it happen once per f.lux session.

@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

Probably this is legitimate - we have shipped a "root-only" version in the past that doesn't ask for permissions, but root is a different level of privilege.

@levitation is there a macOS option that does this too?

Hi Nick - you could try our "working late" preset, which turns off the solar cycle, and only bases the color on wake time. It should fade then about 9 hours before your wake time.

@PerryLi I have been using Cave Painting on my monitors since January and I think that's helped my sleeping habits tremendously. Instead of 1am, I'm now turning off my screens and heading to bed around 10pm these days.

@lskang your question is about the arm GPU, not the processor itself like the rest of this thread.

What we know is that the Adreno GPU (on Snapdragon X) does not support external monitor color changes at all and so we have a workaround in the works that uses a shader instead. It's not ideal...

looks like beta 5 fixes this bug and things work with automatic brightness again.

Figured out the problem. One of my menubar programs (menumeters) was not working right and that caused all of the menubar icons to fail. hope this helps someone else having this problem.

@ned_arb got it, yes we have some fixes coming for these machines, but at least some of the Adreno/Qualcomm devices have no working support for external monitors

@bluepenguin It works and it's so much better now!
Thank you.

@avi11 We are working on some technically tricky updates that require more testing than normal. Will push some of this to beta soon.

@digiangel234 yes this is a lot of exclusions, I wonder if it's messing up. I will tell you that "forgetting I excluded an app" has often been our #1 support issue - people don't understand that they have set it up, so that is why the notification exists this way. It should probably be more subtle anyway.

We are trying to avoid annoying people & not ever doing this more than once for the same app, but we will add a checkbox to prevent it entirely, for people who actually understand how disabling works.

@illegalnumbers yes this is a preview.

When you switch tabs, you are adjusting what the screen will look like in the future, not right now. If you want to adjust what the screen looks like right now, you don't have to change tabs, they will change automatically throughout the day and all you have to do is move the slider.

@ALIENQuake you would need to add it to the registry (the particulars depend on whether you are using our normal version or corporate) - try RegShot or one of the tools that will find the right keys for your version?
