I think the reason is of what color management an application chooses to trust.

darktable-cmstest version 2.0.5
this executable was built with colord support enabled
darktable itself was built with colord support enabled

HDMI-0    the X atom and colord returned different profiles
X atom:    _ICC_PROFILE (1090968 bytes)
        description: 8MN61-156AT #2 2016-08-31 18-19 2.2 F-S XYZLUT+MTX
colord: "/home/bojo/.local/share/icc/GW2765 #1 2016-08-21 16-22 2.2 VF-S XYZLUT+MTX.icc"
        description: GW2765 #1 2016-08-21 16-22 2.2 VF-S XYZLUT+MTX

LVDS-1    the X atom and colord returned the same profile
    X atom:    _ICC_PROFILE_1 (1090968 bytes)
        description: 8MN61-156AT #2 2016-08-31 18-19 2.2 F-S XYZLUT+MTX
colord: "/home/bojo/.local/share/icc/8MN61-156AT #2 2016-08-31 18-19 2.2 F-S XYZLUT+MTX.icc"
        description: 8MN61-156AT #2 2016-08-31 18-19 2.2 F-S XYZLUT+MTX

So - I guess - they are using the wrong X atom color management. But is it possible to just remove it or disable it without breaking the system?

Hi Guys,

I have a laptop (dell) and a separate monitor (benq).

Each is calibrated. I noticed that applications that try to use "system color profile" would try to use the dell icc profile. DT appears to do a very good job actually. But - is there a way to tell ubuntu what monitor should it use as "system"? I can force apps like gimp and some image browsers to use the dell profile but not all are color managed so they default to the dell monitor (and I want them to default to the benq monitor).

Regards,

B
