f.lux works as advertised. Love it. Use it. Highly recommend it. More so, now that is has nice GUI and all.

The fact that it is closed source should not be a problem unless you are RMS!

um, or unless you use an operating system or architecture for which they don't build a binary, so you can't use it no matter how well it works as advertised.

Sure. OSS is great and I am a big fan. But which major OS is f.lux not available for, again?

Your argument in the present context is exactly what I was referring to when I mentioned RMS!

Also, f.lux does work as advertised on the OSs that it is available for.
