Yes, all of us have experienced it at some point or another.
So what do you do then?
There’s definitely got to be a better way to automate this.
And surely there is - “F.lux”.
The natural lighting (due to the sun) has a cooler feel to it than artificial lighting.
The display gets warmer during night time and cooler during day time.
Odd you would think?
Shouldn’t it be the other way round?
Actually no because surprisingly less color temperature means more blue whereas more color temperature means more red.
F.lux does an amazing job in detecting your location and current state of lighting.
I just had to install and run it and instantly it started adjusting the display and did it right.
After that the changes are subtle and you won’t even notice them.
hit ‘tweaks’ and you will be able to see the current location F.lux is using.
F.lux also lets you customize the lighting values.
Adjust the sliders to choose the maximum and minimum values within which the display color will oscillate.
it’s possible for you to also change the transition speed if you have issues with it.
Fast seemed to work just fine for me.
F.lux is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
It’s amazing how such a simple idea can become part and parcel of your work in no time.
