Came across another f.lux-like program - LightBulb:

Doesn't look portable though, but might be of interest to some of you.

Definitely like the open source license (GPL v3). I might open a case with the dev.
Thanks!

I really like this program.
* The "pause when fullscreen" option is setup as a way to handle using a program without color correction. I'm constantly forgetting that color correction is enabled when I'm working on image edition programs where color is important.
* The preview function is great
* Location and internet sync are awesome
* Also just looks really sharp - the settings box is easy to navigate, read, and modify.
It's C# so it probably requires some version of dotNET. I'm not sure which.

LightBulb at
version 1.6.4, recent
changes:
1.6.3.3
This release is a minor update that includes various backend fixes, improvements and optimizations.
1.6.3.4
- Add caption to the tray icon so it appears in the notification area settings (#30)
- Fixed an issue where the installer would corrupt the registry state (#33)
- Fixed "disable for XX" options above 1 hour being off by half (#38, thanks @marvinlehmann)
- Fixed some graphical inconsistencies
1.6.3.5
Changelist
- Fixed users being able to use Enter, Space or Tab as a hotkey without modifiers. (#47)
- Implement periodical autosaving for settings instead of relying on saving on exit. (#62)
- Fixed Windows 8 start menu getting recognized as a full screen application. (#46)
- Make early transitions (night to day) start at sunrise instead of ending at sunrise.
1.6.3.6
- Fixed an error that would prevent some users from retrieving correct geoinfo (#58)
- Fixed timers not triggering if they have overlapping intervals
- Fixed typos in setting names in config file that correspond to update checking
- Fixed config file being saved in unrecognized encoding
1.6.4
v1.6.4 (23-Jul-2018)
- Improved the temperature calculation algorithm so that it works for those cases when sunset happens at night.
- Changed the sunrise/sunset sliders in the UI to allow wider selection of options and with higher precision.
- LightBulb will now become visible when the user clicks on the tray icon once, instead of twice. This change brings this behavior in line with most other applications.
- Fixed an issue where LightBulb would consider some system windows as fullscreen when the 'Automatically hide taskbar' option is enabled.
- Fixed an issue where LightBulb couldn't pull geolocational information (and as a result sunrise/sunset times too). Switched to a different service provider because the old one closed down.

Version 2.0 came out a few months ago with a lot of nice changes:
https://github.com/Tyrrrz/LightBulb/releases/tag/2.0
I've got a list of programs I plan to add to the database and this is definitely one of them.
