Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88) cursor not effected

errantPixel

I’m also experiencing the cursor issue (no issues opening preferences, however), since updating directly to 10.15.1 from Mojave.

MacBook Air 2018

Just a few other details:

I’ve noticed that after a restart, there is a window of time, while f.lux first starts up and begins adjusting the colour temperature, where the cursor appears “normal”, that is without the noticeably bright border. At some point shortly thereafter, however, (and I can’t identify a particular trigger), the bright border kicks in. I am pretty sure that invoking the app switcher (⌘-Tab) did it one time, though.

I am experiencing the same issue, i.e. my cursor is bright white.

My operating system is macOS Catalina version 10.15.1 (19B88).

My version of f.lux is version 39.987.

I am having the same issue (after upgrading to Catalina) but it is happening to all of the "whites" on my screen, including this forum page. I am using a MacBook Pro 2019. Can this bug be fixed?

@errantpixel do you have a dual-GPU mac? Or can you see if there is a "f.lux profile" in system preferences > displays > color? It may be working when we write a profile.

Anyone else with a beta/developer copy, please report this issue with Feedback Assistant. Thanks!

@herf If we don't have a beta/developer copy, is there a way for us to download one?

I'm experiencing this issue, as well.

I've discovered that, for some reason, it only occurs when the color temperature is set below 2000K. At 2000K and above, the mouse is adjusted correctly.

I am running macOs Catalina 10.15.1 on a late 2016 Macbook.

@herf I am seeing the same as others, anything below 2000K, I am seeing the cursor "highlighted" or masked out. I have a 2018 MacBook Air (MacBookAir8,1) with Intel UHD 617 GPU and Catalina 10.15.1. There is not a f.lux color profile.

I have submitted a report with Feedback Assistant. Let me know if there is anything else we can do to help diagnoses.

Try this new build and let me know if it helps?

I tried the beta (version 39.9872), but unfortunately I still get the bright white cursor.

herf

Thank you for checking. Maybe I didn't do enough...will make a parameter instead in the next one.

Meanwhile does adjusting to 2000K work for everyone with this issue?

AdamStanton

Adjusting to 2000K does fix it for me.

@herf 2000K fixes it for me too.

as an aside… I actually think the bright cursor looks really cool, will be sort of sad to see it go :'p

@herf Adjusting to 2000k also fixes it for me, everything below 2000k has the bright cursor show up again.

Fixed

Cursor >= 2000K

Broken

Cursor below 2000K
Color temperature now jumps drastically to red at the 2000K to 1900K step. This step seems to be affected: the change at this step was not previously this great and it is also much larger than other increments.

2000K:

1900K:
