Am I the only one that keeps the same value for night and day? I have it set to 5400K regardless of the hour. I like the subtle warm glow to remain constant instead of fluctuate.

#212Redshift ( http://jonls.dk/redshift/ ) is a generally better piece of software with far longer transition times and better configuration options, rather than the abrupt change that f.lux provides.

#213Summary of feature requests so far: - default to a slower transition - support dimming too - Add an API - Sunset is fine, except in the winter Most of these are on our list but it is all good feedback!
Yeah, if i can adjust it so it gets dark by 10pm rather than sunset, that would be pretty awesome.

#214This thing gets a lot of love by a bunch of folks here, so I gave it a good half year of trying. But it's just too annoying. Around 5pm, your display turns pinkish orange and it becomes a lot harder to see anything. Code gets harder to read, colors display wrong, video just fades to black. None of the advertised happiness ensues. The second half-year it remained installed, my only interaction with it was to notice it…
I wrote a similar app called Brightness that lets you manually control display tint and brightness, instead of relying on a timed mechanism. Myself, and many other designers and developers, find it very useful.

#215Love Flux. I've used it for months now and it's super helpful.

#216Earlier quoted context omitted.
f.lux does look wrong in a blue-rich lighting environment (like an office building after dark.) It looks ok in most people's homes.
You should set f.lux to match your ambient lighting. If the whites on your screen look more orange than the whites in your room, then you have it set too warm (no benefit from that anyway!).

Re: Save your eyes, start using f.lux
#217great idea !
though my iPhone is higher than OS 5, so I don't have any idea about how to install it to my iPhone,
but I think , maybe if Apple sensed this, would the integrate this into iOS as new feature? just call it the Platform's feature

Why not?
Not sure if that's sarcastic or trolling or not. In the event that it's earnest, software patents are relatively frowned upon by most non-corporate entities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent_debate
Not sarcastic or trolling. Can't one hold a patent and also offer the product for free, provide open source code, and allow others to do the same?
On the flip side, suppose the patent holders do lock down this idea. Do you really think that humanity (or the US) is going to benefit from competing copies of a program that changes the color of our screens?
Are you truly concerned that the patent is going to take this program away from us? Have you contacted the patent-applicants to ask what they plan to do with the patent? Why is the pantent-pending "pretty important" for this piece of software? Why not patent this idea? If the only answer is "software patents are bad!", then it's worth thinking about these questions more.

#219"save your eyes" - huh? (I've used the program and like it).

F.lux doesn't seem to support my multi-monitor configuration.
I have three monitors, one at the bottom and two above it side by side (top ones are primarily used) and F.lux only works on the main monitor. :(
