f.lux beta discussion

@disqQ you could probably race alt-tabbing back to the "open" f.lux window (but it auto-hides after a few seconds). We will make this easier.
-
@John-Smith123 if you download again you should get one that dims less. We are trying to find the balance where people might use less extreme colors and instead dim a little more (sitting in a dark room before bed is one of these cases).
-
@John-Smith123 the graph is your sensitivity to light over time, so in the morning light makes your internal clock "earlier" and at night it makes you "later". We will do some more UI to explain this, but we think it is important that we start explaining how these systems are working in the body.
Regarding timing: there is a "more fixed" schedule in this version, but we know for certain that people are much more sensitive to light in the winter, so the seasonal component of f.lux isn't likely to go away - your body is definitely not ignoring it. But you can just set the sunset setting the same as daylight or try out the "Working Late" preset.
-
Just realize everyone that the reduced dimming (less dimming) reduces contrast at 1200K and warmer. It also reduces contrast of the color presets like Blue Sky, Emerald City, etc.
Edit: Nevermind. I remembered that it was because I prefer to use NVIDIA Digital Vibrance in the NVIDIA Control Panel. ha! Oops. I forgot. Setting it back to 50% makes it normal again just as I remember doing with f.lux v3. :)
I apologize for any confusion everyone!

@herf Tried that but didn't succeed. Anyways, glad to know it'll be easier/possible in the near future.

This works perfectly with the 8.1 displylink driver until a reboot, at which point instead of a 'yellowish' hue, the color turns greenish. That is until the usb monitor is unplugged, then the color on the main monitor immediately reverts back to yellow, BUT! replugging the usb monitor back in then tints both monitors green again =/
With the 8.2 DL driver and it's regedit, the usb monitor is not affected by flux at all.
The usb monitor in question is an AOC E1659FWUX.
Great job folks! Keep up the good work.

For anyone who has a mouse cursor that isn't being colored by f.lux, let me know and I can help you. This isn't unique to the Beta f.lux for Windows, it's just Windows. That's all.

@TwoCables oh gosh thank you for the reminder!

You're welcome! It just hit me because I'm finally using the new f.lux in my unique way (800K on demand) and instantly realized this is probably the perfect opportunity to inform the majority of the f.lux for Windows users!
By the way, the ease of being able to choose 800K whenever I want and pretty much as fast as I want is almost like a dream. This is great!

Hi Guys,
Love the app.. I am on dual 27" screens. Here's my feature request that ties in with "disable for <appname>" on dual monitor setups, only have the active screen disable blue light for that app. I used it last night for VLC, but my second monitor lit up like the daytime, so while it is a great feature, it could do with multi-mon support with the disabling by app setting :)

@Neobond thank you - this is on our list (and a big request for movie watching)!
-
In the "Custom Colors" menu at the top right corner am i supposed to have more than one entry by default? I only have "Recommended Settings" but for example, in this screenshot there's more.
-
@disqQ The presets synchronize from our server (they should work forever offline if they download even once). Is there anything in your system blocking f.lux from making connections? Probably we should ship a base copy.
-
@disqQ Also can someone say if you are seeing a graph with "fast transitions" on upgrade from v3? We intended to default to "slow transitions" so hopefully you would have to set this. Will verify (probably will reset for everyone on next upgrade to be sure).

With a double line, and lacking a vertical scale and an explanation, the graph is quite confusing. And how should this inform the choice of settings of the user?
Other questions:
- If I add my own preset to
preset.json, will it be overwritten when they update from the server? - I would like to disable dimming completely, is there a configuration setting for that?
- If I add my own preset to
-
@herf Mine was set to fast transition on v3 and it was still set this way with the v4 beta upgrade, if this helps!

Great update!
It would be great if you could set one more light point (or as many as the user wanted). For example, my PC is in front of a big window at home, so even when the sun has set down there's still plenty of light for like half an hour, in this time I find myself setting manually the f.lux to 4200K to only later let it go to 3400K. -

+1 it would be great to have more transition steps, even if it were only a "power user" feature exposed through a configuration file :)
