When using 42.1 I've noticed the disable for full-screen apps mode is not honored. Is this a known issue?

@lmarte03 said in v42 - Monterey 12.3:

@m0ondoggy I have this same issue since I got my m1 Max MacBook Pro the fullscreen disable setting that I loved so much is not functioning.

Hello,
I've got the same issue: "Disable for full-screen app" isn't working as it should be.
I have the same issue for a particular app, even it is or not in full-screen.
When I activate the function, and I go to the app, flux is deactivated, but just for few seconds. After that, flux is activated again. On evening, even the choosed app, or full-screen app, go red.

Does anyone still have that bug?

The first problem (menu overload) is solvable with a particular software. Since we not at liberty to explicitly recommend software in this forum, I'll refer you to the final sentence of @Bigbird 's reply to @herf, which mentions (but also does not explicitly recommend) this very software (version 4). It's costs money (once), but it solves the menu overload problem. Like @Bigbird, my machine I had no issue displaying the F.lux menu icon -- presumably because of this.

The second problem (no pref pane access), is what brought me to this forum. When I clicked on the f.lux menu bar icon, the usual dropdown appeared, but nothing happened after making a selection. A minute or two after skimming the posts for a solution, I thought to try searching for f.lux in spotlight. After searching for (and selecting) it, the suddenly appeared, as if they had been hidden.

Now, after doing this only once, the menu selections now appear every time a selections is made. This was strange to me, because F.lux was already running before I 'ran' it again from Spotlight. But it works now -- and without having to repeat the process.

Don't think I've ever felt moved to post on a forum before, so I hope this was a worthwhile first foray into the fora fray.

This isn't a big deal, just a minor annoyance. I seldom need to go in to about or prefs. Just reporting it as an FYI.

sounds like i'll have to wait until apple makes my m1 eligible to upgrade to 12.3.x?

is this because i'm on m1?

I say "part of the problem" because Apple sure isn't handling things well when there isn't enough menu bar available. And on this Mac with the camera in the middle, that's really an issue. For apps and prefs that have interfaces elsewhere, like in the System Prefs, it's not a big deal. For things like f.lux that have an interface that must be accessed via the menu item, that's kind of a show stopper.

Can the f.lux prefs be reached in some way that doesn't involve the menu bar item?

Reasonable workaround I just came up with: Set screen scale to "default" or "more space" so I can see f.lux. Then I moved it over to the right end of the menu bar. Then I switched back to my bigger text mode and now I can get at f.lux all the time.

Herf, it really doesn't seem like this is your problem to solve. Seems more of an Apple issue. They need to handle things more gracefully, not just cause menu items to disappear. I'm curious though: Could you make f.lux be part of the Control Center? I'm new to Monterey so I'm unclear how things can be added to the Control Center.

More thoughts:
Do you have default resolution or “more space”?
Do you have a 14” or 16” screen?

f.lux runs fine, but I cannot access the prefs for it. There is no menu bar icon for it. My menu bar is a bit crowded but not so crowded I think that there isn't room for f.lux to appear.

If I want f.lux to stop running, I have to go into the activity monitor to stop it.

Note this is the funky MacBook with the camera that blocks part of the menu bar. Don't know if that has anything to do with this issue.

Thanks!
