@TheophilusThistle said in It's Too Dark!: I tried a search, surprised I couldn't find any posts about f.lux being too dark. I have tried tweaking the settings but I don't like how dark f.lux makes my screen, and the computer's brightness option can't make it any lighter. How do I brighten the lighting using f.lux? Do you mean that you don’t like how warm the color temperature gets?

@anon-flux can you check if the feature "when the sun is up, dim lights with these names:" feature doesn't have names that match your lights? and of course, that the checkbox is off?

This study is widely discredited - here is one followup so you can see the difference between ocular (eye) exposure and extraocular (behind the knee): https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-pdf/83/9/3369/9231826/jcem3369.pdf There are indeed visual opsins in the skin, but many of them do not have access to a chromophore, so they don't activate to a neural pathway like those in the eye. There are some potential links with subcutaneous fat in recent experiments, but only in albino mice, and there is no consensus on it yet.
