There is nothing that flux can do about that. From what I remember it is treated in some separate manner that prevents it from receiving the same tint everything else gets. This doesn't happen on the Mac version (or the Linux version from what I remember. I never noticed anyway) of f.lux so every time I go on Windows I notice it and it drive me nuts. But alas, it's beyond f.lux's control so I can't blame them for Microsoft having yet another way of making their OS annoying to work with. I can't work without f.lux anymore. They finally released a Linux version of this so I can finally do work on Linux at night. After using f.lux since early beta using a computer without it at night is too jarring for me now. I have it set to a heavier level too, 2700K. I used to have it lighter. On my one machine I have it set to 2300K and might switch everything over to that soon now that I am getting used to it. I used to suffer from quite severe eyestrain and it basically has all gone away now. | ||

I always thought the mouse had a bluish tint to make it more noticable against the yellowish tint everything else gets... Also f.lux was the first thing I installed after the OS on my new build (since I was able to just copy the sc2 files). Been using it for around a year (maybe 2..) and really like it! | ||

This thread saved my precious time, thanks. edit: does it conflict with twitch-stream? streams aren't working for me for some reason. I hear the audio but no video. | ||

I watch twitch streams using flux all the time. Something else is causing you issues. | ||

I guess, now that there is a (good ?) linux version this is not really relevant anymore, but have you tried redshift for linux ? | ||

Currently trying redshift(1.7) on mint, gotta say it's not that neat. Launching from any graphical interface fails with no output. Calling it raw in the command line outputs an ugly error. and it has not builtin --help. -h works however so apparently you cant call it without -l lat:lon and since you launch it in a terminal you have this things which keeps running. gtk-redshift (1.7) is not that pretty either, since you still have to call it from bash, so it just adds this small icon which burns your eyes when you click on it, and...that's it. If you have any advice on how to get those running smoothly, it would be very welcome. I'll give the f.lux version for linux a shot. | ||

(since it's not default on gentoo, it's probably not in the binaries in the distributions that distributes binaries) Otherwise, I just launch it from my start script so I don't care about the graphical interface, but I get how it could be a problem. If the linux f.lux version has become any good along the years (which it seems to have according to Ben....) you should probably go with that, it's a more mature project (well, the linux version isn't, but the project in itself is) | ||

Well I'm certainly not a gui fanatic, it just bothers me to have this bash open which keep running. Well maybe if I add it to my startup (which I'll certainly end up doing) the opened bash won't be in the way. | ||
