Hello, Ah good that sounds more promising. I was just wondering myself why the Jiggle is Purple.
Im also getting somewhere with fixing the broken mesh filters. They can be edited by finding them in /System/Library/Compositions Im just looking at the two OpenCL Kernel patches in Mesh Noise and they give errors because attenuation is set to be a constant but one line is trying to change attenuation by clamping it. Crudely working round this by removing that line in both patches causes the Mesh Noise to jump into life. Someone that has a clue about programming will have to decide whether this is a bug with OpenCL or actually a bugfix which has caused poor code in these particular patches to fail. Whilst writing this email I had a very quick look at Mesh Bulge and I think its the same story - the OpenCL kernel patch now picks up on more attempts to assign stuff to read-only variables and so the patch doesnt run.
