<![CDATA[[Feature Request] Override color temperature / add custom profiles]]>Hi, when playing games or watching movies at night I don't want my display to be orange. However, I also don't want to disable f.lux completely as the screen is then too blue for night.

Possible solutions:

  • Add a 'Custom Profiles' feature to f.lux so that I can quickly select a custom profile from the f.lux menu bar icon (eg "Jamie's Profile - Game Mode", which sets color temperature to 5200K).
  • Add an option to f.lux preferences to set a specific color temperature for 'disabled apps' list (rather than disabling f.lux completely). Eg use 5200K for all 'disabled apps'.
  • Allow f.lux to be controlled via macOS Shortcuts app. This way I can simply fire off a custom shortcut that sets the current color temperature to 5200K (eg "Game Mode" shortcut, which sets flux temperature, dims my Hue lights, etc).
  • Allow f.lux to be manually controlled via scripting (eg AppleScript, CLI tool, etc)

A CLI tool would be super powerful as it gives full control over f.lux via scripts. For example I could run from my terminal (or shell script) - flux temp 5200, flux daytime, flux disable, etc.

Any of the above options would work and really set f.lux apart from Night Shift! I would pay for a 'f.lux Pro' for such features 🙂
