F.lux Version 4
It’s called f.lux and it automatically adjusts your monitor’s color temperature at nighttime. It shifts your monitor to a red tint, which is less disruptive to your sleep pattern.F.lux automatically detects your geographic location and will begin adjusting your display to your time zone. Note: You can change your location to match your schedule. Just click on Settings.If you need precise colors while you edit photos or do other color-sensitive tasks, you can disable f.lux. Or, if you want to watch a movie and have the colors look right, you can put f.lux in Movie Mode. This disables f.lux for two and half hours.Note: If you first install and run f.lux at night, your monitor will suddenly take on a serious shade of red. Give yourself a little time to get used to it. If the colors still don’t seem right, you can adjust the warmth setting to what’s most pleasing to your eyes.New updates
