hue inversion does not work on Mac OS X 10.9+ Mavericks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Nocturne in Mac OS X 10.9+
2. Disable Monochrome and enable Invert Hue

Expect hues to be inverted. Instead, checkbox has no effect.

Using Nocturne 2.0.0 on Mac OS X 10.9

Ditto - this is primarily why I use Nocturne (otherwise, I just use 
Cmd-Opt-Ctrl 8)... What are the chances of this getting fixed?  Thanks! :)

For what it’s worth, I was able to find a modified, working version of 
Nocturne here:

Thanks for the update, I tried the modified version and it still isn't 
activating the "invert hue" function. The flickering problem seems to be 
solved, so that's a plus. 

I use this app all the time when annotating journal articles (I'm in grad 
school), and it really helps my studying. If anyone has a fix I'd really 
appreciate it.

Best,

~Ben

I <3 Nocturne, so until this is fixed, i'm stuck in Mountain Lion :(

I'll match that ^

I believe I have solved this issue.  How can I commit a patch to Nocturne?

I'll be very happy if you did!
Please, email one of these people as soon as you can:

I think the negative hue stuff should behave like this Windows program does it: 
http://arcanesanctum.net/negativescreen/

You configure a set of color transformation matrixes which can be bound to the 
F1 keys.

I completely agree. That's how it used to work with regard to the 'smart 
inversion', but it stopped working a while ago and since hasn't been fixed.

If And...@hunt.li believes he has fixed it so that it is now "smart inversion" 
I would greatly like to see this feature reimplemented as it was why I was 
using nocturne.

Well, first I have to find a way to contact the owners of this project.  Unless 
they see my request here, I can't find a way to see their full email addresses.

I was trying to test my fixes today, and may have run into an issue with 2 
external displays.

Once I have a working version of the code patched (and I'll want them to review 
and approve it if they're active), then maybe we can look at smart inversion.

It's displaying tint correctly when displays are not mirrored.  When displays 
are mirrored, only the first display is tinted.  Out of curiosity, is that 
existing behavior?

Also, j...@gmail.com, is there a way that I can commit my patch to source, once 
it's been reviewed?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

re comment #14, I found a way to tint them all, so it doesn't matter.

Not hearing back from any of the owner / committer people.  If it goes another 
day or two, I'll fork it and put the source up on Github, with a binary.  I 
think that's ok with an apache 2 license.  I'll read over it a bit more 
carefully in the meantime.  Incidentally, if an owner would prefer I didn't do 
this for some reason... please let me know.

!!! oh man, please, project owners, merge this!

And...@hunt.li -- you might want to release it through github so you can get 
some people to test it while the project owners get back.

While we're waiting for the owners/committers to get to this issue:

Thanks.

Has anyone had a chance to try my changes?  I'm curious if there were any 
issues.   There's a binary available (.app) on the repo as well, if you don't 
compile for yourself.

I tried running it. The Invert Hue option had no effect. I'm running OSX 10.9.2 
on late 2011 macbook pro 17"

Yeah, I just realized that I got my defects mixed up.  I think I've solved for 
64 not 63.

Original comment by And...@hunt.li on 3 Aug 2014 at 6:44

After a little investigation, it looks like the hue inversion was relying on a 
private API that may have changed.  If it did change, that might explain why it 
doesn't work anymore.

@hunt.li
This is a great observation. May I ask how you determined this?
Perhaps we should start looking into another tool that can allow such 
functionality?

Honestly I don't really care if hue inversion doesn't work because then I can't 
watch movies/videos with the color inverted. I always have invert screen on, 
and I have VLC with colors inverted playing.. so that wouldn't work.

Original comment by abazh...@gmail.com on 3 Sep 2014 at 4:25

Well I believe some of us want the hue inversion to work, keeps some of the 
color and prevents it from looking ugly(imo).
It's an option with in the menu and not a permanent fix, so it can be turned 
off =)

Andrew, did you get hue inversion working? (I accidentally updated to Yosemite, 
forgetting the awful "no hue inversion" disaster)

Original comment by j...@benet.ai on 29 Oct 2014 at 12:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Unfortunately, I have not had time to  get hue inversion working.  looking at 
the code a while back, it seem that hue inversion pre-Mavericks relied on 
accessing an API that is no longer exposed.  That's why it broke and was not 
quickly fixed.  The solution to the problem right now would involve a lot more 
work, so far as I recall.
