      Hi,

      Windows, at least from 10 onwards has APIs for reading off geolocation information, that as far as I can understand, can also be used in Win32 applications:

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.geolocation

      Would it be possible to include an automatic reading of the location so that when I travel between two cities, flux just adjusts the location automatically and does not need me to remember to enter data myself every time?

        It does use this feature when the location dialog is up, and it works well.

        We could do it a little more frequently, like anytime your IP address changes to something new, but we've tried not to leave it on all the time.

          @herf Aha, yes, I didn't realise! I hadn't actually travelled, I just have always wished that it was always possible with the previous version.

          But maybe a once a day check in the morning would be worth doing? I sometimes go across 2 time zones and I forget to change the flux location, so I only get reminded when the screen goes yellow a couple of hours after dark...

          Anyway, thanks a lot. That and the HiDPI UI supposed where the two biggest niggles for me.
