Is this official? How long has this been a thing?
How does it compare to the win32 one in background resource usage, general performance, etc?
Which one would you officially suggest to a Windows 10 user?
-
@nobelharvards It lack some feature.
-
Yeah, I noticed this version too. Is this official? If so, I might download it.
-
I think it's an official app, all the link to official site.
-
@llity Just because it links to the website doesn't mean it's official. A lot of scam apps link to the official website to look real. I won't believe this version is real until staff approves of it.
-
@HTV04 I test it work fine but miss some feature, and because it downloads from the store, it is a safe app.
-
@llity I know it might work as intended and look safe, but I still want confirmation from staff. I'm just paranoid like that :P
-
Happy to confirm this is official! We just launched. (It's amazing how nice and helpful some companies can be.)
The main difference is that 'expand color range' isn't exactly the same. Color temperatures below 3400K may show up in screenshots in Anniversary. On Centennial it should work correctly. We will do everything we can to keep this release at feature parity with the main release.

Ok, thanks! Just one more thing, should I uninstall the Win32 version then install the UWP version?
-
I'm just asking because I installed f.lux yesterday without restarting, and I'm wondering if it's safe to uninstall f.lux without restarting, and that the UWP version will work after the desktop version was installed and uninstalled.

@HTV04 Yes go ahead and uninstall - UWP should win on startup but having just one seems like a better idea. Let us know if you have any trouble!
-
@lorna Ok, thanks! And just a heads up, Microsoft might ban the app from the Windows Store in fear that it might be messing with computers' settings. If this happens, you should upload the .appx for people to sideload. This app is really cool, and is way better than the default Night Light.
-
@HTV04 Thanks - there is an approval process for the store (we've been through it), so we don't expect to be banned. ^_^
-
@lorna Hopefully it won't get banned. F.lux is amazing!
-
@HTV04 We're such outlaws!
-
@lorna 😂
