      After what Lorna said in the post below, it sounds like they do have plans to make it far better.

        Yes this is still a work in progress. We held off on the feature in v3 because we didn't like the timing, which still needs improvement.

        I think we did a little better with the timing on Mac, where disable is very fast, but re-enable is very slow. The case for me is: working in Photoshop (disabled), alt-tab to a chat client (enable slowly), go back to Photoshop. Fast adjustments back and forth are not very good here.

            @SomeGuyNamedDavid Not while it's launched, while it's active. Thanks @TwoCables for making that more clear.

              You're welcome, Lorna.

                4.21 on my Laptop (Windows 10) the location is incorrectly showing Europe Asia even though the LAT/LON it's showing is actually the North of England.

                I know we're going through Brexit and everything but I don't recall England becoming part of Asia ;-)

                  @dragon2611 Wow, ok (also thanks for the giggle). Can you message me your coordinates or send a screenshot? Does Google maps locate you correctly?

                    Since this new update and turning the "Use Monitor Data for Calibration" ON in whatever setting i use (2700k 3400k etc) its more yellowish, it will take time to get used to it. So I assume that it due to my laptop screen calbration....

                              @lorna Right, it's just difficult to reach f.lux while the window is still active if it's fullscreened, because bringing up the taskbar to get to f.lux deactivates the window in question.

                              A totally separate thing to note is that f.lux also seems to be creating multiple entries in the "hide/show taskbar icons" settings, depending on what time it is. So my list contains items like:

                              • f.lux
                                Sunset: 4 hours ago, Wake in 9 hours
                              • f.lux
                                Sunset in 43 minutes, Wake: 11 hours ago
                              • f.lux
                                Sunset in 13 minutes, Wake: 11 hours ago
                              • f.lux
                                Sunrise in 5 hours, Wake in 7 hours

                              which are continuously appearing, and must all be turned on/off in order to consistently show/hide f.lux in the taskbar, else it will appear and disappear as time passes.

                                I'd like to see the ability to use the color-changing keyboard shortcut to go back to 6500K from 800K. Right now, I can get close but it's either 6300K or 6550K.

                                Transitions while the f.lux window is closed are very choppy for me. When the window is open, they're fairly smooth.

                                I think that radio buttons should be used on menu items that can't be deselected when clicking them again. Check marks make it feel like I can just click the currently-selected item to deselect it.

                                When I have f.lux disabled for a specific program, or for an hour, or until sunrise, I think it would be nice if it would say so in the window instead of just "Disabled".

                                If I'm using custom colors and I go and select a different preset like "Recommended Colors" or something, I would love the ability to instantly go back to my Custom Colors by having a menu item by that name to choose from in the drop-down menu.

                                I'm not sure if it's supposed to be automatically updating, but it's not.

                                The download link in the beta thread (https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/3675/f-lux-beta-for-windows) isn't for 4.23 either.

                                I found a weird bug. Here's how to reproduce it:

                                1. Put f.lux in Bedtime mode
                                2. Choose a color that's warmer than 6500K for either Daytime or Nighttime, depending on the underlying mode that f.lux is in.
                                3. Hold down CTRL and try to get Bedtime mode to be in 6500K.

                                What you should find is, you can only go as high as 6450K. As soon as you put the slider in the 6500K position, the set color temperature drops down to the warmer color for Daytime or Nighttime that you chose, but the slider stays in the 6500K position. It only does this for Bedtime mode. If you release the slider button by releasing your mouse button, the color temperature will drop down as depicted.

                                I think it would be nice to choose how long the f.lux window stays open for when it's not in focus.

                                I think Movie Mode should be forced on if you choose it while your current color temperature is higher than 4400K.

                                I might have more to post later.

                                  Posting 4.24 which avoids interrupting fullscreen apps with notifiers and popups, so at least we can use hotkeys to debug these cases.

                                    I found that having the monitor data for color calibration ON, (im using 2700k) the screen is yellowish....i dont like very much, so if i disable it it goes to f.lux default color right?
