F.lux: adjusts display color temp by time of day
- pdoconnell 12y agoI've been using this for about a year now. It does seem to have a noticeable impact on my comfort given the time I spend staring at screens. The transition points at sunrise and sunset are very disruptive, however. Even knowing it is coming, it will break your thought process.
- nkantar 12y agoReally? I feel like mine take over an hour and I never notice them. I think that used to be a setting, but I can't seem to find it now. (OS X, might be different on other platforms?)
- WorldMaker 12y agoDid you try adjusting your transition time? You can switch from Fast to Slow which will gradually adjust over 60 minutes. See if that works better for you.
- pdoconnell 12y agoI'll have to check, because for me its an immediate shift. It even causes system slowdown for a few seconds as it transitions.

- rogerbinns 12y agoI use it on my Linux boxes and it works great. There is a command line client, and a separate optional gui for control. Android folks should check out Twilight https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid... - note that it works by putting a colour filtered overlay on top of the existing display content. Google does block some actions while this happens - eg accepting terms/permissions for installation of an app. Consequently you have to disable twilight when doing things like app installation/updates. (flux and redshift tweak the gamma tables directly - something that isn't available on Android.)
