Is there any way to force BGR subpixel layout on an external display?
Hi! Maybe someone has idea how to solve this problem. I have display Dell P2314H it has BGR subpixel layout instead of common RGB. If to turn on font smoothing on Mac - fonts are looking terrible. I have tried to edit ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.<ID>.plist, trying to modify PixelEncoding property from from: --------RRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGBBBBBBBB to --------BBBBBBBBGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRR and also some other combinations. Rebooted after several modifications without any success.
On Ubuntu there is dconf-editor, where you can modify /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings and set rgba-order property to 'bgr'
But is there any chance to fix wrong subpixel layout setting on Mac OS? This problem manifests itself if to connect external Display to MacBook. Other displays with RGB subpixel layout work smoothly.
Thank you for any help.
