Efficacy?

This is missing an Efficacy section. Most people who are interested in this would also be interested in how effective it is, I presume. 74.192.252.191 (talk) 00:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think any serious studies have been conducted, at least not yet. - Alltat (talk) 07:31, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Add more

Please those experienced in colouring and the human eye expand this article and to make it more technical. Thanks :-)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayazcherquoi (talk • contribs) 10:38, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

F.LUX Music Project

This should either be a re-direct, or not here at all. Right? 124.189.149.67 (talk) 10:07, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Movie mode

The description of the movie mode is wrong, at least for the Mac version (current release) which I am using. In this version, the movie mode sets the color temperature to about 4000-4200 kelvins irrespective of the nighttime setting. So, if you are using nighttime CCT of 3400 K, it does indeed reduce the color shift. If, however, 5000 K is used, the movie mode turns the screen still more reddish. I suspect that this is a preliminary setting only valid for nighttime CCTs below 4000 K. Does the Windows version behave the same way, or does is use a proper interpolation between standard and nighttime color? However, I didn't find an independent reference for this, and I'm not sure whether the program can be used as reference for itself to avoid OR.--SiriusB (talk) 09:08, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Then it is original research only and likely not relevant for the article anyway.–Totie (talk) 13:33, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Latitude limit

I don't know where the supposed 65°N latitude limit came from (original research, I dare presume); mine is set to 70°N without issue. 164.68.25.123 (talk) 20:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the unsourced and apparently untrue claim. If anyone has a source to show there is a 65°N latitude limit, feel free to add it back with a citation. .אבי נ (talk) 23:09, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is relevant enough it even if it is true. This is not the place to document every small aspect of the software unless it has some other significance.–Totie (talk) 13:32, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible image

The image chosen is a terrible representation. I wouldn't doubt if many people had seen that and been turned off in a heartbeat.

Can someone with a camera do an image of f.lux in a typical mode? You might do identically-framed shots of the darkroom mode and the unaltered desktop, and set them side by side. 2600:1005:B11D:5E06:838A:9A24:B1DC:514A (talk) 22:32, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I hope the current image is more helpful an illustration. F.lux themselves called it a "terrific illustration" on Facebook. Stephen Lafleur (talk) 04:42, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I made one, not sure if to use it or not https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F.lux_on_computer_screeen_stitched_photo.jpg Marek-Holub (talk) 22:56, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

say what?

Anyone tell me what this means?

"modifying program behaviour for specific programs or activities"

Sounds fine to me. Example: you configure the blue light blocker to be active only when you are playing a certain game (a specific program) or while browsing the Web (a specific activity). Equinox ◑ 15:07, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stylization

Should f.lux be written as "f.lux" or as "F.lux" throughout the entry? Should we even include the dot? I was thinking of rewriting the beginning to say:

"F.lux (pronounced "flux"), stylized as f.lux..."

I'd probably also edit the rest of the entry to be capitalized. I think it might make reading somewhat easier. What do you think? Nyla Smokeyface (talk) 19:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
