v41.9 beta - New Macbook Pro (MiniLED) turns Cyan with Monterey 12.0.1, and 12.1b3 has overflow artifacts on M1
-
Many of you with new MiniLED Macbook Pros have noticed that f.lux turns the screen cyan in Monterey 12.0.1 (Monterey 12.0 is OK). We've made this build that you can use until there is a fix in macOS.
Updated 41.8 build also tries to fix cases with Monterey 12.1b3 that make overflow artifacts on all M1 machines.
Updated 41.9 build to make it work right with external displays.
If your screen is not cyan, please do not do the "swizzle" fix.
Download this build:
https://justgetflux.com/mac/Flux41.9.zip
Once you install, you will have to type the following into Terminal and relaunch:
defaults write org.herf.Flux montereyswizzle 1
Make a note to come back... once this is fixed in a future macOS, your colors will be funny again, and to roll the pref back you can do:
defaults delete org.herf.Flux montereyswizzle
This will "swizzle" your display primaries to fix the Monterey 12.0.1 problem.

@herf said in v41.6: workaround - New Macbook Pro (MiniLED) turns Cyan with Monterey 12.0.1:
defaults write org.herf.Flux montereyswizzle 1
thank you so so so much! you're an absolute legend! turned off night shift & went back to glorious flux!
-
Thanks for the fix! Absolute legend you guys, thank god for it I was getting driven up the all

Hi it seemed to me that in recent days he spoke of screen"green" not "cyan". My macbook is green and with the new version it corrects but the other monitor becomes "cyan"
thanks corrado

@odaroc yes, we flipped the colors for all "wide gamut" displays - so if your external display is DCI-P3 it will be affected (wrongly in this case). I will look into a way to identify the internal display only.

I applied this fix and it worked great for normal screen tinting, but when I tried Dark Mode (mostly just out of curiosity) it went full green rather than red. Just a heads up.

This is a major improvement. It isn't green any more, thank you. But it's not as red as I had had it. I have a medical reason I need it to get redder at night. Is there a way to make it as red as I was able to before?
-
f.lux options > expanded daytime settings should let the sliders more more.

Is there any progress on having this temporary version work with external displays? My LG Ultrafine (connected to brand new MacBook pro) is turning Cyan, while the MacBook display is being turned reddish as it should with flux.

@gregnemes Second this, I also have an external Ultrafine and am having the same issue. Night shift aint cutting it. @herf do you need anything from us M1 Pro owners to help resolve this?

I just upgraded my M1 MacBook Air to the latest developer beta of Monterey (12.1 Beta 3) and ran into a similar issue with f.lux making my screen cyanish. I figured I'd try this fix to see if the issue was related, but alas, it did not fix the issue. Obviously Apple changed something (broke something?) in the latest 12.1 beta, but no idea what it is!
-
@noraa thanks can you send us a (phone) screenshot, with the fix and without? support at justgetflux.com - thanks!
-
@gregnemes @lectrik we think 41.9 works with the Ultrafine now.
-
@odaroc also - we think 41.9 fixes external displays too.
-
works, thanks
