Smooth dark color issue #14

Closed jsardev closed 5 years ago

jsardev commented 5 years ago

I don't know if it's a problem with my PC or the extension. Take a look at how the "Smooth dark" background color looks on my screen (notice the bottom rectangle with a slightly different color than the rest):

Is it just me or is it a common problem?

Interestingly enough, this is actually the third time I hear about this issue. I will reproduce it and try to fix it as soon as possible.

Hi @sarneeh, I managed to reproduce your issue on macOS (and I found a fix!)

Apparently since Chromium 68+ there have been several conflicts between the user's monitor color profile (defaults to unmanaged) and Chrome's (infers from display). On macOS it's producing this weird issue where colors are rendered differently for no reason.

I found a fix though. Forcing the sRGB color profile chrome://flags#force-color-profile should do the trick.

@krismuniz Yeah, the issue was kinda weird, as it only appeared on the black theme. Firstly I thought that it's something with my eyes 😄

Switching the color profile fixed the problem for me :) Thank you! What do you think about adding some info in the README about this issue?

krismuniz commented 5 years ago

Yeah I think it might be wise to add it to the README just in case. At least until Chromium fixes it.

@krismuniz I've created a PR to address this: #15
