Hello,
F.lux has been doing some work in parallel to DisplayLink to enable their application to work on DisplayLink technology.
These were using two different, independent and unrelated ways, of achieving a
similar result.
We discovered that when the F.lux team released DisplayLink support from their software whilst we were still in development. We had consulted when starting the work on this though months before and this was also before night mode was also introduced in Windows 10.
Because we uncovered flaws with our implementation, I unfortunately had to pull the plug and remove the feature from the release. The code is present but disabled because of the collateral damage it will cause.
Because F.lux has now already released support for most, this has not been possible for me to justify restarting the development compared to other items like performance and CPU usage reduction as more people are asking for these.
To summarise, today there is F.lux support on devices using DisplayLink technology from F.lux custom implementation. Their implementation is not machine universal.
I still have the DisplayLink implementation review in the product roadmap, but this is not scheduled currently.
In the meantime, you could
manually force enable the feature on 8.3 by tweaking the registry if you really want to take the risk with the crashes and don't mind things freezing and loss of control.
I do not advise it. You will have problems.
Regards,
Alban
