f.lux - On dual monitor system, make work on only 1 monitor?
« on: March 15, 2013, 06:57:00 PM »
Sorry for the long subject, not sure how to summarize this.

I have recently started using f.lux, and I love it. But is there a way to restrict it to only one monitor?

I run Windows 7 Ultimate. I have two screens, and would like to restrict f.lux to only "running" for my main monitor. This way I can do colour sensitive work on my secondary monitor.

I tried to find a support forum for f.lux but couldn't.

Thanks for any help!

I've never heard of f.lux.  What is it?  Where is their website?

http://stereopsis.com/flux/ It's basically a tool that dims your monitor and adjusts the white balance according to the time of day due to some experimental evidence showing that exposure to excessive levels of blue light at night may disrupt sleep patterns.

When I used f.lux I remember that it left hardware-accelerated windows untouched, like VLC media player with graphics acceleration turned on.

Thanks for responding so quickly, Soybean and Transfusion. I submitted a comment to their site, but am not sure how long any reply may take or even if someone will reply.

I was hoping someone here may have used it or knew how to make it "active" for only one monitor, but if not, that is okay.

Transfusion is correct in the website and explanation. Thanks!
