Support f.lux on Windows

Flux will reduce the amount of blue light emitted by the screen which aids going to bed. As it stands, there is no support for color calibration to DisplayLink connected monitors. DCC/CI commands are supported, but there are issues that make it not a viable solution (http://superuser.com/questions/257606/is-there-a-work-around-to-configure-brightness-or-color-on-a-displaylink-monitor).

f.lux latest releases have enabled support for DisplayLink indirect displays (Windows 10)
You can download f.lux from https://justgetflux.com/

For the few wanted to do real monitor calibration, please contact technical_enquiries@displaylink.com to discuss how to enable this on your particular configuration.

The testing of the release has shown a few important flaws in both the implementation of Windows 7 and Windows 10. Unfortunately, this means the feature is far from being good enough to release in 8.3. Work continues on top of finding out why the flaws were found so late in the development.

The 1st two product line implementation is now complete. You can now try 8.3 Alpha 1 to send your feedback if you use a product based on DL-3000 and DL-5000 series:
http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=83604

Delivery is forecasted between end of July, early August for DL-3000 and DL-5000 on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10TH1, 10TH2, Creators Update and Fall Creators Update.
DL-6000 series based products are next in implementation.

The implementation progresses. The first products we are working on are the DL-3000 and DL-5000 series and you can have an early preview on Windows 10 Creators Update onwards for these devices: http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=82958#post82958

Please do read the limitations before you start using it and use the forum for the feedback so it can be individually tracked and answered to.

Still a lot of work to do… Please do read the limitations before you start using it and use the forum for the feedback so it can be individually tracked and answered to.

Now the analysis for the feature has completed, the implementation has started. Contrast and brightness are already supported through DDC/CI and we are now developing gamma curve modification. The first products we are working on are the DL-3000 and DL-5000 series.

AdminWim (Product Manager, DisplayLink) responded · Jun 26, 2016

This is planned. It has taken longer than hoped as we have been working with Microsoft to better integrate DisplayLink graphics into Windows 10, which has changed the interfaces we use. This new interface can be seen today with WIndows Insider builds and DisplayLink’s 8.0 software.

We do not want to develop this feature until this new Windows interface development is completed.

This feature is on our backlog of Windows features to add.

Will you please add this support for Windows 7 as well? Many of us still use an older OS due to corporate restrictions. Many, many people are asking for this feature! Please, please support Win 7!

Thanks in advance

Please add support for night shift and f.lux for mac.
Matthew Sawyer commented · December 28, 2017 1:37 AM · Flag as inappropriate

I also voted for the MacOS feature to support Night Shift. Since DisplayLink supports both Windows and Mac, I would certainly hope that you would take into consideration supporting Night Shift on Mac if you also add f.lux support in Windows. Or if you prefer to support f.lux as a whole, support f.lux in Mac as well, in which case I could use f.lux instead of Night Shift.

Good morning, gentlemen,

I'd be very grateful if you'd tell me how to get the recorder up and running. I bought this item from you less than two months ago and still haven't been able to get it on tape.
Please send me the Software (the computer application) and instructions for operating the camera. Oh, thank you.

Sincerely,
Pablo (pjmarjalizo@gmail.com)

Any plans for Windows 7 or 8.1 support?

Any chance we can get support for Windows 7?
AdminAlban Rampon (USB Docking Product Manager, DisplayLink) commented · November 7, 2017 12:44 PM · Flag as inappropriate

That's correct Gregor. F.lux implemented this on Windows 10.

Windows 7, 8.3M1 driver, newest FLux and nothing - not working :(

Thank you Anon, but we cannot take any credit. What you have today is all thanks to the F.lux team.

Great work guys! It works finally on my I-Tec usb adapter under Windows 10 control :)
MrSeabass commented · October 31, 2017 7:27 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Doesn't appear to work with my d3100 on Windows 10. Currently have f.lux on auto update and on 8.3M for displaylink drivers.
Paul Moore commented · October 28, 2017 3:50 PM · Flag as inappropriate

Does this support Windows 7? I've updated my USB Plugable driver to the latest 8.3.1728 version, and my f.lux version to 4.55, and it still isn't working.

Can you help?

Paul

Latest f.lux 4.47 with latest DisplayLink drivers (8.3 M1) on Window 7 with Dell D3100 still does not work for me with indirect displays.
My prior issue (with apps on indirect displays not refreshing during WebEx) was resolved with DL support - at least for Office applications, disabling hardware acceleration in Office did the trick for that.

I have the USB 3.0 docking station Targus ACP70EU and latest f.lux (4.47) on Windows 7 and it has no effect on display connected to the docking station. I didn't find any explicit option in f.lux's setting. What am I missing, please?
AdminAlban Rampon (USB Docking Product Manager, DisplayLink) commented · September 19, 2017 12:10 PM · Flag as inappropriate

@JI, there is a separate thread for Mac and it has different challenges. I have renamed this idea to specifiy Windows.

@Anonymous, the Dell D1000 is using the same hardware family (DL-3000/DL-5000) as the Dell D3100 and I have been using f.lux on Windows 10 successfully for weeks. Therefore there is no issue on that side. I have also tried it on the Dell D6000 using the latest DL-6950 chip and it works.
I suggest you check f.lux options.
Anonymous commented · September 18, 2017 7:43 PM · Flag as inappropriate

F.lux is not working when I use my D1000 docking station. Is there going to be support for this in the future?
JI commented · September 17, 2017 3:09 AM · Flag as inappropriate

I'm assuming this applies to the Windows version, but not the Mac OS version?
AdminAlban Rampon (USB Docking Product Manager, DisplayLink) commented · September 11, 2017 8:18 AM · Flag as inappropriate

F.lux has announced supporting DisplayLink indirect displays with their latest release. I have personally been using it since.
Gregor commented · September 5, 2017 8:53 AM · Flag as inappropriate

+1 for supporting f-lux. It is so much wanted!
Thank you in advance

Just installed 8.3 M0 on Win7. Still have issue of 2 displays driven by Dell D3100 not refreshing when sharing laptop screen via WebEx. Typing in a window on a external display does not paint when keystrokes occur, but only when using mouse to move the window.
