Suggestion: Hide icon from topbar setting
-
I too love flux, I don't need to disable it too often (mainly for movie watching) so instant access to the menubar icon is a pretty minimal requirement. It doesn't sound like the developers are prioritising any options for menubar and dock display, so anyway I have added $5 to the kitty, and if an update does come out in next couple of weeks I won't need to pay for Bartender which I have been trialing and currently answers the question for me.

Here is a quick fix that worked for me in OS X. At login time, the image file Contents/Resources/fluxicon.tiff is loaded onto the menu bar. In the installation, this is a black and white rendering of the logo. I replaced this file with one of the same name that contained a single transparent pixel. When flux restarts, the menu bar item is still there (and clickable), but it is does not clutter my menu bar.
Here are some screenshots of what it looks like.

This is not an ideal solution, since the menu bar isn't guaranteed to place the flux item at the far left, and its minimum width is set by the system item icon padding. But for a 2 minute fix, it's pretty good!

Just installed Vanilla on Sierra: free tier allows you to hide icons, paid tier lets you remove them.
Works great!

If our icon bugs you more than blue light at night, I don't have a better solution for you than uninstalling.
I know this is an old thread, but it's where duckduckgo landed me.
Yes, your icon bugs me more than blue light, and there are alternatives. I've been using f.lux since it's inception, I've donated to the cause, and now I'm deleting it because that attitude absolutely sucks. You really shouldn't be involved with customer service, @lorna, because you suck at it.

Hey, you're right. I do suck at it. I'm not a customer service person. We don't have a support staff, which is one reason the icon's not hideable. People need to be able to see the icon so they can quickly disable it, change options, or even quit forever. Sorry to see you go, and thanks for your former support. Please let us know if we can ever help with a f.lux related question.

Closing old thread - this is a feature request that we know many folks have, but for now there are no plans to remove the icon.
