Hi,
Thank you for sharing this it is really interesting.

@herf i cant send screenshot but in win10 i can change intensity, if you right click on the night mode panel and go to settings, there will be a setting for the night light parameter right under the switch on and switch on night mode button.

@Jokester2101 You have the "hotkeys" checkbox off, so it should not affect the Windows key.

The only place we register a hotkey is related to this, and if f.lux is relaunched it does not even call the windows code to ask for the hotkey. It's specifically registering Windows+End.

@hehee we will look into it - this means that f.lux saw two different states in the hub, and to avoid a "race condition" where we fight another app, we are waiting for it to be stable before making changes. But as you say it would be annoying if it is always doing that.

Hi!

This is exactly what I am looking for too. Making everything monochrome red is great. But why does it inverts everything at the same time? That should be a separate thing. All my icons look odd, all shadows are wrong, photos are useless, faces cannot be recognised, basically everything looks bad. So instinctively I've tried to use MacOS built in inversion feature to "fix" it, but unfortunately macOS inverts the image after it is tinted red by f.lux, so in inversion mode it becomes cyan. (My brain froze when I switched. I didn't expect the amount of blue light into my face.)

I'd assume it could be very hard or almost impossible to make f.lux filters come after OS level filters, so it'll never play nicely with macOS built in inversion feature I think.

But that should not mean that the red filter should only be available with inverted luminance. Can we gat a mode / option to use red filter without flipping dark and light parts of the screen please?

@herf

I am getting this too with Sharex

work! ty

@herf I did that and also updated my GPU drivers. Same issue only when using f.lux and rebooting. Perhaps it only affects certain hardware. I have a Surface Laptop Studio 2. Are there any logs I can provide you?

I have made a pretty big jump from Windows 7 to Windows 11 in last few months. On Windows 11 I am experiencing the same thing and it's killing my eyes. In my case, f.lux gets disabled once the system receives a notification which usually comes from Outlook in my case (new mail). After few seconds, the colors are back to yellow automatically, but this quick moment is enough to receive a deadly dose of the blue light in the evening, I have never experienced it working on Windows Vista & 7 for 15+ years.

@Burgerkrieg I think I figured it out, at least in my case. Checking "Always use Windows internal color table" fixed it for the misbehaving monitor, which was otherwise doing exactly what yours was.
