Glitching on plonged use #12

Open nicorikken opened 1 year ago

nicorikken commented 1 year ago

I tried the plugin and having it active for multiple hours on end the whole desktop was glitching.

Situation:

There didn't seem to be issues with a single monitor, but with multiple monitors it seems that apps render pixelated or glitchy in a way as though a buffer with rendering frames is looping or out of order. Dragging windows around would help a bit.

Turning the extension off and on seems to have solved the issue. I don't yet know what is going on here. If I can narrow it down further I'll report back.

Thanks for developing this extension!

Thanks for the report. The glitching is something that is probably out of my reach (or at least skill), I just add the effect to the stage and the rest is on the compositor. Some combinations of gk, drivers and compositor are more prone to this glitching and multi-monitor/hi-DPI is definitely not helping..

@G-dH yeah, that was already what I thought as I briefly looked through the extension code earlier. Any suggestion where to report this upstream?

I just discovered the color correction modes in CHC-Extended which are great. Perhaps you could add in per-window color correction modes to colorblind filters as well? It could get around the whole-screen color correction glitches for those with those issues (Including me)?

@CoderRuq : Adding per-window corrections can be done, the problem is time..

CoderRuq commented 1 year ago

no worries! I wasn't sure if it was only the full-screen color correction that was causing the glitches.
