Only Disable f.lux on The Monitor That Has Fullscreen App
-
@Beatsah The difference is that we disable "instantly" in the multi-monitor case, and we animate more slowly in the single monitor case, so these are slightly different. If driver info shows >1 display it will do per-monitor disable and otherwise no.
However, we prefer to be able to "see" this monitor info in order to calibrate to each display separately, so we would like to see it work 100% - but we can (+will) work around this for the disable feature though.
v4.133 has one more fix and is on the beta track today.

I did want to jump in and say that the issue is resolved on version 4.134. Thank you so much!
-
@Chase-Hobbs we changed things so we don't have to see all the monitor info to disable it. But I would like to fix this situation the "right way" soon.
-
Can you say how monitors 2-3-4-etc are connected, like which kind of cable? If it's HDMI which version?

I just found this after noticing that "Disable for fullscreen apps" does not seem to work properly on f.lux 4.134. Unfortunately, I don't know if it just started not working right or if I am just now noticing it. I built this computer three weeks ago and only just learned of and enabled HDR a few days ago.
On my previous system, f.lux would disable on individual screens that had a Borderless Window game running or a full-screened video player like YouTube. Now it just stays on, even if I turn the feature, or application, off and on again.

@The-Arcanian the RTX 4070 seems to be disabling normal color controls here. Can you look in NVIDIA's control panel and see if "reference mode" is checked?
-
@herf I am guessing you mean NVIDIA Control Panel>Display>Adjust desktop color settings? If so it says "Current color accuracy mode: Accurate", the check box for "Override to reference mode" is empty. Also, just in case it has any impact, I should mention that I have f.lux's "Always use Windows internal Color table" feature enabled because f.lux's recommended colors are disturbingly orange with HDR display settings.
Additionally, since I last posted I have noticed that my report may be application edge cases. I saw the behavior I reported while playing Against the Storm and watching something on Max.com (previously HBO Max). But since then I have experienced the proper expected behavior while playing other games and, contrary to the impression my initial post may have given, watching YouTube. So it could just be that Against the Storm and Max.com do weird things.
-
@The-Arcanian okay this sounds like it may be a new HDR issue - are the monitors HDR capable? Presumably some video content can trigger HDR mode (and some does not).
-
@herf Yes, they support HDR. To be specific they are both an Acer Nitro 27".

@herf Yes, they support HDR. To be specific they are both an Acer Nitro 27".
Additionally, I am using Windows 11's Auto HDR setting. Which, to my understanding, changes a display to SDR if the content (or just games? That is all I see it with at least) does not support HDR.
