      Installed version 4.21

      Issues that are gone:

      • When entering a game the screen went brighter (f.lux temperatures changed)
      • When closing f.lux i needed to wait 15-20 seconds in order to launch it again

      Now it keeps temperatures and i can close it and re-open right away. Good job.

      Just one note: Despite working as intended when launching games when you Alt + Tab you see the daytime (6500K e.g) temperature for like 1 sec and then it goes back (instant) to the right temperature (2000K e.g). Both sides, tabbing in and out.

      Another thing i noticed: when watching videos and entering fullscreen (i tested on youtube, twitch) screen goes brighter.

        By the way, when taking screenshots or recording videos, this happens:

          @disqQ yes we do this when you haven't rebooted yet, or when you're using a USB monitor.

            @herf which situation are you talking about that requires a reboot? I don't use any USB monitors.

              Are we still asking for reboot at install? It should...

                Well, I was too fast to say my problems went away with 4.21. It only worked once. :(

                Before I always had to open f.lux main window to make it update temperature to daylight when I started my computer in the morning. This morning, not even this worked. Now I had to take a slider and move it all the way to 5500k and the temperature was updated. Then I moved a slider back to 6500k.

                Could this be a problem with those old Radeon Catalyst drivers?

                Edit: Looks like that when I start computer it's always low temperature even if it was daylight 6500k when I last turned computer off. :/

                    lol

                    Use the new keyboard shortcuts ('hotkeys') for changing the color temperature. Come on. :)

                    Hint: check out the f.lux options. Explore and discover. hehe

                    Oh and Mike, see I'm not the only one who wants 800K. I think the main slider should have 1 range: 800-6500K. If the user wants higher color temperatures than that, then that should be an option they can enable. Or, they can just use keyboard shortcuts.

                      @herf No, version 4.21 installed and no reboot as required. Anyway i did reboot my system before writing those things here, so that's no the problem i guess.

                        Yeah, reboots aren't required for f.lux updates. Fresh installations of f.lux require a reboot though.

                        Are you using a USB monitor?

                          @disqQ Hmm we only use this transform when everything else has failed. That's usually when you have a device attached (like a docking station with USB/DisplayLink) that doesn't work another way. There might be bugs in the way we test the system though, so any more information about your configuration (GPUs and drivers and monitors and how they're connected) that would help.

                              Is this with Windows 10's Creator's Update too? I have seen several reports of problems since it came out, and each one was display-related in one way or another.

                                  I thought so. :( Here we have yet another case of the Creator's Update causing problems.

                                  For the record, I have Windows 7. I'd bet though that I'd probably be experiencing some display-related problem too if I had Windows 10 and the Creator's Update. It seems that's pretty normal so far.

                                    Our NVIDIA (Kepler) machine is still on Anniversary (for displaylink testing) so I will try to make a build that prints out some internal state for you.

                                        @TwoCables Thanks man, i didn´t know that. But...you are really a Vampire because 800k its too "bloody-style" :D
                                        PS: Im using 6500k during the day and have enable "reduce eyestrain" but i wonder if this option maintains during nighttime or it will disable itself.

                                          I like 800K because I want to reduce all blue light when I want to get sleepy, not just most of it. It may look extremely red to you, but when I've been awake for a very long time, it's an extremely welcome thing and it no longer looks all that red (especially when there's no daylight coming through my window). I also switch to just one of these lights and nothing else:

                                          http://www.feit.com/led-lamps/performance/performance_led/performance_led/color_leds/color_led/a19-r-led

                                          When I'm maybe 30 minutes away from bedtime, I switch to this little thing:

                                          https://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse-03469-Nanolux-1-Watt-Bulb/dp/B000UQ1Y0Y

                                          If you're serious about your sleep, you get serious about everything that affects it. When I've been awake for a long time and I want to go to sleep in a couple of hours, it feels extremely good to go to 100% red light. Going from 6500K and a bright monitor to 800K and red indoor lighting and also a very dim monitor is a huge relief when I've been awake long enough to be extra sensitive to light.

                                          Check the curvy lines in f.lux to see how sensitive to light you're most likely to be when you've been awake for about 14-16 hours.
