      Yeah, I did this with the Beta version for Windows which has the 3 modes too. All I did was I faked my Location so that f.lux went into sunset mode, then I faked it again so that it was in sunrise mode, and then I faked my wake up time in f.lux so that f.lux went into bedtime mode. For each mode, I chose my preferred temperature and then I was all set.

        @TwoCables You can just change the sliders by dragging, you don't need to change location!

            If you change the setting on "This is when I wake up" and tell it that you wake up at for example 8 pm, (or whatever gives the minimum number of daylight hours) then you can extend the time that it will work on Bedtime mode which allows you to go to a much lower temperature.
            I'm still experimenting with this but it seems pretty effective so far.

              Hello, thanks for such an amazing application!
              And I have the same problem as people here - I need single adjustment all the time.
              It would be perfect if you could make button, that switches off automatic transitions

                I agree with that. I have a medical problem with my eyes that leaves them unusually sensitive to blue light, and I find the minimum temperature on the daytime setting is still much too high for me.

                  You can do 1 color temperature 24/7.

                    Thank you TwoCables.
                    Could you explain how to do that please as I don't see any obvious way of doing it.

                      The other option I'm looking at is changing the location setting.
                      If I add or subtract 180 from the latitude figure, then it will change the day/night by 12 hours.
                      At 10 am it will think it's 10 pm, and go into sunset mode.
                      This is working so far.

                        Set all 3 color temperatures the same. Sunrise, Sunset and Bedtime. You can fake your location and fake your bedtime so that you can change them right now.

                          @nwalford That's how I did it. All there is in the preferences on my Linux version is latitude / longitude and 6 colour choices, can't automate colour changes over time of day etc. It's either on or off, so I found a place that suited what I wanted on the location setter and set it to that. I do like it, very restful on the eyes.
