Summary 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.
The last time I checked, this wasn't open source. I don't like running foreign binaries on my system. This doesn't rule it out completely for me, but puts me off enough that I haven't tried it.
Redshift is an open source equivalent for Linux and Windows: http://jonls.dk/redshift/

This 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…
Whenever Flux gets mentioned, there's two groups of people: 1: Doesn't understand it, hates the "wrong" colors. Can't get used to it. 2: Appreciates the candle-like colors, says it helps them sleep in the evening or relaxes their eyes. I wonder if there's some sort of genetic difference? Maybe some people just aren't sensitive to bright light in the evening?

edit: You CAN make it take an hour! Just installed again!

(author of f.lux here) Color adaptation actually takes about 2 minutes, and we transition by default in 20 seconds (some video cards use a ton of CPU during the transition time, so we pushed it a bit faster.) The slow transition option should help some people. Also a badly-calibrated monitor can give a very undesirable result color-wise, but a white page should look like your room lighting if we do things right.
as someone in the "those colors look weird" camp, this might convince me to give it a try. it implies that those i've seen using it have it set up wrong.

It turns reddish gradually, so I don't really notice it. If I disable it at night, the sudden blueness hurts for a second, which implies there's some benefit to being redder.

I used to have the same issue as you. F.lux emulates an undergoing sun. That doesn't happen in 20 seconds. Set the transition time to Slow. Also select the right type of lighting. If none of the types match your lighting, juggle a bit with the settings until your screen looks the same way a piece of paper would look in the same lighting. If you do that, you won't notice it's running at all. The only reason I turn it…
I wish there were some way for it to detect the ambient light of the room I'm in. Late at night I prefer the warmest setting. But I feel like I'm constantly adjusting f.lux based on where I am. If I'm out, I can't control the lighting of the room. At home in the winter when it gets dark early, I don't want to turn the lights off at 5pm. But if I don't adjust f.lux, it hurts my eyes. For the most part, though, I think…
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.
I've got irregular sleep patterns and this didn't help so I didn't bother setting it up again on next OS reinstall. I work from home, so can get away with working "whenever". For a while I've basically given up trying to "fix" my sleep cycle. I'm awake until I pass out and I wake up when I'm rested. This is of course suboptimal for workouts--you need to rest properly after workout to get max benefit from it. But lyin…
Yeah, I have a similar "problem": I'm 'rotating' my sleep cycle. I constantly stay up longer and longer so in a few months I'm awake at night and sleeping in the day - and a few months from that I'm awake in the day and sleep at night. But to be honest that really doesn't bother me that much. It only get's weird when I have to set a wake up alarm to do grocery shopping before the stores close ;)
