      When I watch a video I like the display to be at full brightness so that it shows dark scenes properly. Sometimes, I have no idea why, the f.lux tray icon has an option to Return to Full Brightness but at other times that is not available. I do have f.lux set to disabled when my media player runs.

      Why is this option available at some times but not at others? Under what circumstances is this option available? Does that option make any difference if a program is set to disable f.lux when it runs?

        @Red-Dwarf this option is only visible when you've used the keyboard shortcuts to dim the screen. If the screen is at full brightness it is hidden.

          Thanks, I see that now but I didn't notice it before you mentioned it.
          What does the Disable for a specified program do? Does it set the display to 6500K and is that what the Return to Full Brightness does?

          Do all these options do the same thing? Or can the colour temperature be at 1900K when "Return to Full Brightness" is enabled? It's not very clear what the keyboard shortcuts do. I would think that if the colour temperature was set to 1900K then Alt+PgDn would only reduce the brightness from 1900K and go up to 1900K maximum. That would be different to Full Brightness would it not?
