I believe that. But the code is open source! I grabbed it and extracted what I needed into a new app. It was actually pretty easy, Nicholas did all the hard work. Nocturne uses an obscure system method to invert all colors (most likely the same one used in Universal Access), so that was a no go for inverting only my external screen. But to invert hue, it places a top window acting as an overlay, using a core image filter. All I had to do was change the filter to invert colors, instead of hues, and place it on the external screen. But then, I also added a hue filter on top, since it kind of keeps the original colors, which is pretty cool. On the downside, it's slightly less smooth to refresh, ie when dragging windows. Anyway, I don't have a lot of experience with Cocoa, but to me it seemed humanly possible to fix the app and add some feature requests, I wouldn't mind doing it as an exercise, if Nicholas agreed, but I have a months long list of other things to do before that. But I hope this serves as a little cheer for others to dig into the code. In the meantime I have this little app that inverts the colors of the external screen (only one). Pretty specific, and no eye candy. But if anyone wants the app or source code drop me a mail.
