Before opening the issue, have you...?

Searched for existing issues

I use a TV as a monitor. This device doesn't have DDC control so my only option is software dimming.

The problem arises when I want to use Gamma dimming with f.lux, that also modifies gamma values.
By using Shades dimming, I could use MonitorControl alongside f.lux (f.lux to change display temperature, MonitorControl to dim the display using shades).

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to use f.lux to modify the external display temperature using gamma values, and dim the display using Shades.
The MacBook's internal display should be modified by f.lux via gamma, and via the native Apple brightness adjustments.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently I'm using f.lux with QuickShade, but the issue is QuickShade doesn't have a per display dimming option so it also dims my MacBook display via software (unnecessary).

Anything else?

Yes, this is a logical idea and could be implemented quite easily with a simple checkbox in Displays.

You'll be able to toggle this with the 'Avoid gammatable manipulation' checkbox. Please be aware that with shade based dimming the mouse cursor will be exempt and upon entering/exiting full screen mode in an app, the app will briefly light up as the shade cover fails during the transition.
