Support Night Shift and f.lux for Mac OS
As documented, there is work underway for Windows to support f.lux. However, I haven't seen any clear communication that support Night Shift of f.lux on Mac OS is in the works as neither are supported via DisplayLink. It would be really nice to have these options on Mac.

Should you have questions or meet issues, please create a support ticket by emailing technical-enquiries@synaptics.com as individual cases can't be analysed through the idea board.

Hello,
I believe this is needed to have a uniform experience with multiple screens. Do you have any plan to start developing on this?
Thanks

It's so frustrating you can't use these feature on an external monitor with macOS.

Yes, please! I can't say how crucial this is. It's the only upgrade I care about.

The thing is people say use f.lux in the mean time but that doesn't work either, still only works on the macbook screen.

I have a 2017 Macbook pro touch bar with a sabrent usb c docking station( best on amazon) . First of all nightshift doesn't work on the extra displays. I get high temperatures(80-90 celsius) even when almost not doing any tasks, keep in mind I have the highest spec Macbook pro (4 GB graphics card).
Please try to get nightshift to work and also fix the high usage of cpu even when not doing anything.

I'm running MacOS High Sierra on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. I've got dual Samsung 24" curved monitors on each side. One is connected using a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter; the second is connected using an Insignia USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter. The latter utilizes the DisplayLink chipset, and therefore the DisplayLink driver. After installing the driver and rebooting, it seemed my two Samsung monitors didn't look quite right. I adjusted the brightness of the second monitor to match the first, and it still wasn't right. I then realized that Night Shift was enabled. I temporarily disabled it, and both external monitors were identical. I re-enabled Night Shift, and only the built-in laptop display and one external monitor (attached to the mini-DisplayPort to HDMI) changed to the warmer colors, while the DisplayLink-attached monitor stayed in its normal (non-Night Shift) state. This is quite distracting! I would like all of my displays to be in Night Shift as appropriate. As a workaround, I can turn off Night Shift (temporarily), but ideally I would really like to be able to use Night Shift and have it available on all my displays.

Really need this feature, DisplayLink isn't very useful without it.

Please make this happen! I need f.lux or Night Shift working via display link or else I'll have to return the product.
