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.

Blue light reduction on DL-3000, DL-5000 and DL-6000 series delivered via f.lux and DisplayLink Manager 1.7

f.lux is available from https://justgetflux.com.
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.

+1 would also like this! Seems very cheep without it. Pretty awful using this thing at night, the contrast between my other monitors and this make it seem 10x worse.

Any update on this one, really this is a great feature. I never turned off the night shift when I use my mac for 3 years. Now that I bought an additional monitor and used display link for it to connect and the after a few hours of usage my eye started to hurt. And then i recognized that there is no night shift option for displaylink mac. I hope this release will come soon. I use chrome dark mode to browse now.

It's pain to have two screens with Night Shift and one screaming blue light without Night Shift ... please fix ASAP.

Please fix. It does not make sense to use it without.

Can I put all my 10 votes on this? Will be returning my dock if this can't be fixed.

Is there an ETA for this update? Working at night on an M1 with multiple monitors is a nightmare.

+100, please prioritize this. The only workaround I've found is disconnecting the DisplayLink block and just using direct HDMI.

Yes I've been looking to do this all night. My monitors are screaming at me but the night mode/ flux won't extend to them via Displaylink. Will return the product if not fixed ASAP.

please support this, it's blinding to have one monitor at a totally different brightness

This is a much needed feature that gives this software a negative without it
