Dimming causes the tint to go away
-
If I let flux work as normal, sunset comes and my screen gets more orange. If I try and use Alt-PageDown to lower the brightness, the tint fades with each brightness step down. Is this normal behavior? I'm on Windows 10 and just reinstalled flux.

@tyler You'll need to expand the color range. You can do this in two method:
- Drag either daytime or nighttime slider as far as you can to the left. Click the "Expand color range" button.
- open f.lux settings, click the menu (3 lines) choose "Expand Color Range".

No, the normal behavior is for the color temperature to become slightly warmer as you press Alt+Page Down (in order to imitate an incandescent light bulb). Are you saying that the color temperature is going UP?
Granted, as you press Alt+Page Down, it can somewhat appear as though the warmth is going away because what's actually happening is, you are increasing the black level.

I had this same problem. Dimming with alt+pgdown caused the temperature to go UP - as in it became more blue. The sliders had no effect.
What I did to fix, however:
Increase brightness to full. Move sliders all the way to the right (highest temp). Then, move them back left. The Expand Range button then appeared (note that I had previously 'expanded range' so it must've gotten reset). After I did that, and restarted, it's back to normal.By chance did you recently install a new windows 10 insider build?

Hey, thanks all of you for responding. I thought I had already clicked Expand Color Range but doing so helped. After expanding and rebooting, the temperature does not appear/feel to be going up anymore.
