Hello devs! Has there been a discussion whether to support X Color Management specification [1] in darktable?
[1] http://www.oyranos.org/scm?p=xcolor.git;a=blob;f=docs/X_Color_Management.txt The use case is: Users with wide-gamut monitors suffer from incorrectly displayed icons, window decorations, etc. It may not be such an issue with monitors in AdobeRGB, but the peak colours become aggressively strong in wider gamuts. The only solution I am aware of is to use CompIcc [2] plugin of Compiz. [2] http://www.oyranos.org/compicc/ CompIcc works also with apps not supporting the above XCM specification, however, the image/photo is then converted to sRGB colour space before being displayed on the monitor. This of course contradicts the use of wide gamut monitor. A manual workaround seems to be to use the xcm tool [3] on command line to force CompIcc to "ignore" a screen region and to set the display profile manually in darktable (because CompIcc sets _ICC_PROFILE X atom to sRGB as a measure to deal with non-complying colour-management-aware apps).
