2x Feature request - permanent brightness dimming + dynamic brightness dimming
-
there are options that allow you to adjust daytime color on both v3 and v4 which can achieve same result of all day low brightness.
-
If that's the case, it's certainly not obvious how to do it. I don't see any way to do it, nor does it make sense it would even be possible, since changing the color temperature by definition does more than just shade/dim the display. If you're saying that by lowering the temperature it makes it less bright, sure, but it also makes everything look significantly different (yellow/orange tint), and that's not what I want. I want everything to look normal, just darker. If that's truly possible, I"d appreciate an explanation of how to do it or a link to an explanation or something. And even if it is possible, it just seems like adding a schedule ability, which the program already has, for the dimming ability, which the program already has, would be relatively easy, since you're just taking two already existing components and combining them, and then it would be much more obvious and user-friendly.
By the way, I'm running the latest version (4.55), I just posted here in the v3 discussions since I felt it was better to do so in response to the OP, since it's dealing with the same thing and despite being on the newer version this remains the same, so it's still applicable.

Yes, we have been working on this for about 2 or 3 years, and we cut it at the last minute to get v4 done.
There will be a version of this in the future - we think it is extremely important. But we have to be careful about it, because laptops go a lot of different places where the screens have to be readable, and also, there are tons of interactions with all the power-management software that comes with your computer. It seems like it would be easy until it isn't. :)

Thanks herf! That's good to hear. Any idea if the other things (adjustable steps and hotkeys) will likely be implemented? And do you have any ideas as to why I lost the ability to turn it down to 0% (completely black) after rebooting?
-
I don't think we've ever allowed completely black... What do you mean?
-
As I mentioned before, when I first installed it, I could use Alt+PgDn to make the screen almost completely black (it wasn't quite 0%, but probably 1-2%, as I could just barely see stuff). Then one more would switch it to Darkroom mode. After rebooting, without changing anything, it would no longer go that far dark. Now it only goes to 9% then straight to Darkroom, skipping over the ~0% step. I like to be able to turn it completely dark (e.g. to be able to blank the screen when watching TV without having to turn the monitor on and off) and was disappointed to see this functionality disappear after rebooting. I can only assume it's related to the reason why a screenshot taken while the screen was dimmed was also dim before rebooting, but after the reboot this problem went away (and btw, I originally thought the screenshot being dimmed was just how it was and was disappointed by that, until I searched the forum and found a post stating the behavior would change after rebooting).

the dimming is bothering me i got my flux deleted then the dimming is still here >:(

@Andis-Olbiks install the softaare back, disable it in the software, then uninstall again
-
Is there any update on the OP please? I have installed the latest version (v4.55) and I still see no option to make brightness dimming a permanent setting.
Thanks

I would also like to have a setting to permanently change the brightness setting, instead of the brightness resetting every day at sunrise.
