Taking a screenshot via ShareX while Flux Beta is enabled/tinted results in a tinted screenshot
-
Hey guys, not sure if this has been documented yet, but last night I tried to take a screenshot with ShareX while using the F.lux beta, and I noticed that the screenshot taken ends up being tinted, when the old version of F.lux didn't do that.
Encountered on beta 4.28.
Thanks!

Hi @yllekz yes this happens if you haven't rebooted since installing. It gets better if you reboot. :)
-
@herf Thanks, but I regularly reboot every night. The issue persists even after a reboot. Seems the way f.lux now tints the screen is seen by programs that capture the screen.
-
Ok, if you reinstall f.lux it will ask if you will let it expand color settings, and if you can, say yes and reboot.

@herf Unfortunately that doesn't fix it. I have tried this multiple times. Please see my reply in the OBS Studio Thread: https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/3812/obs-studio-output-impacted-by-f-lux-beta-where-old-non-beta-didn-t

do you have a secondary monitor (like a USB connected one?)
-
@herf Yes. I have 3 DVI monitors and a DisplayLink USB monitor.
-
It's trying to make the effect work on DisplayLink then (again doing work on the GPU).
If you unplug the USB monitor or use this newer driver it will work:

@herf Hmm, ok, I have a Lilliput USB monitor (DisplayLink) with hardware ID USB\VID_17E9&PID_0219 though, so it might not meet the criteria in that link. I am running that particular beta driver, but didn't try the registry fix yet. I'll see how that goes.

We could make the option to ignore monitors like this, also...
