The app is really great and I don't wanna miss it but since it slows down my computer(s) dramatically it's unusable for me. I tracked down the problem and it seems that the app somehow interferes with the Windows DDE. This means that when I for example doubleclick on a Wordfile it takes about 5-8 seconds for Word to startup and load the file. When I change the behaviour of the file associations to not use DDE it works fine. But I cannot create a manual file association for each and every filetype in Windows. Bummer, I had to delete the app. I hope the bug will be fixed soon. Hey Justin

The screen just doesn't feel as harsh at night anymore. Fantastic app. I have been using F.lux for a couple of weeks now and after getting used to the changes, absolutely love it.

The guys at F.lux have not responded to my email - any suggestions out there? I really want to use this product. The effect is good for the eyes – once you get used to the coloring change,

It is Win Server 2008 x64 and after Flux has been running for a few hours it causes my computer to slow to a crawl. It does not seem to use a lot of CPU or RAM, but for some reason it is the cause. However this app works great on my XP media center, which is in the living room. Having it dim that screen on its own is great. Now if I could just get it working on this system...

The warmer colors feel like a filter over my screen. I rather use a bat file which changes the energy settings using powercfg.
