    I installed the osx version of flux ages ago and never looked back, stunningly unintrusive. Although waking up in the morning to find your beautiful late design is bright cyan is a…

    cool, it doesn't care........... wait... on second thought the only time I've hit the problem this solves is when a device has poorly labeled the contacts. Pretty sure this is more…
