Every color on the web (as far as I can tell) is displayed inconsistently in Google Chrome 43.0 on a MacBook Air running OSX 10.3 with an unmodified LCD color profile. Before attempting it yourself, Watch this short YouTube video demonstrating the problem: When switching between desktops or accessing context menus, the color becomes saturated like those seen in Safari. On scroll, the colors revert to the more dull versions normally seen in Chrome.
Here's a question: does anyone know how to prevent this inconsistency?
Embedding color profiles seems to be far from enough.
The fundamental color management problems between Chrome and OSX have resolved themselves within the past six months as of Chrome 47 on OSX 10 El Capitan. Using the most recent updates, the color management inconsistencies with Chrome 43 on OSX 11 Yosemite shown in the video posted above thankfully no longer persist.

I have MacBook Pro M1 Max, with two monitors, one 34" as the main monitor and one 24" as the side monitor which I use vertically, after upgrading to macOS Ventura this issue started to appear! When
I tried to watch a video on my main monitor when I switched to full screen, it was showing it sideways!
I'm a software developer so I have multiple browsers, I tried on all of them, and sometimes one was rotating but not the other, but after some time, all were rotating!
I tested Youtube, Amazon Prime, HBO on browsers, and then even the Apple TV app, they all show the videos sideways in fullscreen mode!
But it was happening only on the main monitor, not the side one, not the laptop's internal screen!
Interestingly, the image was showing normal if you moved the mouse pointer on that screen, but as soon as you stopped the mouse, the video go back to the rotated state!
One thing I found out about this was that if you restart the OS, the issue goes away, but after a few times of Sleep/Awake circles, sometimes same day but definitely the next day, it'd come back, and I have to restart the laptop again and again!
SOLVED!
It was frustrating! I called Apple support, and first, they offered to restart the OS and boot in Safe Mode and see if this happens in that mode too, I tried and it was happening in Safe Mode too!
Then the next solution was to reinstall the OS, so I backed up the data as a precaution and reinstalled the macOS Ventura, and it worked the issue has gone away!
So I leave the issue and solution here for future reference.
Here is the link to Apple Support for reinstalling the OS:

I have XQuartz 1.20.11 (xorg-server 1.20.11) on an M1 MacBook Pro (installed via MacPorts) and am trying to display IntelliJ running on a Linux box via ssh/X11.
The IntelliJ windows appear with oddly rendered text that's unreadable—the white background turns black, and there are white outlines around the black text. If I click outside of an X11 window and start typing, then the IntelliJ window looks normal. But as soon as I touch the trackpad, IntelliJ becomes unreadable.
I tried taking a screen shot, but it comes out looking normal even though the window is nearly unreadable. So I've attached photo of the screen.
X11 windows from other applications display fine.
As mentioned in an XQuartz thread, setting
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false' clears up the text but results in extremely slow display.
Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting or a solution?
There is a ticket for this issue in IDEA tracker, please upvote it and follow for updates.
Do the latest recommendations from the thread that you mentioned help?
If not, then please try switching IDE boot JDK to e.g. OpenJDK 17 and inform if the issue persists after that.
I would like to ask about these images I found to be glitchy on google chrome.
I must confirm that none of these are intentional.
This started since I saw a glitchy image on my google classroom, here are some images I found to be glitchy. I don't seems to find a pattern from them.
Glitchy image on google classroom
How the google classroom image should look like (my friend's perspective)
Broken logos of chrome extensions (fullscreen)
Broken search icon
Broken pdf icon on web.whatsapp.com
It sometimes manages to fix itself though, I successfully took a screenshot of glitchy icons and the normal ones.
Search Icons, both normal and glitchy displayed at the same time
I've tried to delete images cache and even reinstalled chrome, none of them works to fix this problem.
Some information that might help narrow down the problem:
I've recently used this PC with a new SSD (I've used it for about a month now), which contains the chrome itself, and it works properly so far. I don't think this should be a problem with the disk. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
However, on the day this happens, I installed the React Devtool (I've deleted it though) (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi) and the Redux Devtools (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools/lmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd)
Can this problem be a bug on the chrome itself, or perhaps something related with skia? Should I report this as a problem to Chrome, or is this a problem on my end?
Information about my OS and Google Chrome (I'll provide more if it is required):

EDIT: Fixed, I changed from using GPU 0 to GPU 1 via settings, is this a graphics card compatibility issue?
GPU 0: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M
Setting "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" (chrome flag) to "OpenGL" fixed the issue for me.
Our company uses Macbook Pros as dev machines with external monitors.
Recently Chrome 53 started displaying the wrong colours in a PHP/Javascript web app when displayed on an external monitor.
The colour issue does not occur if Chrome is dragged to the internal MacBook Pro screen.
The colour issue does not occur in Safari, Opera or Firefox.
This is happening on 2 notebooks.
Does anyone have a hint as to the cause or potential solution?
I found a link to a problem where Chrome made the screen black on Windows 10 and thought it may be related.
The suggested solution was to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome Advanced settings.
I tried this and it worked - colours have returned to normal.
I still feel this is a Chrome defect, but at least the colours on the external monitor are distinguishable.
MacBook Pro retina (2013). Yosemite was doing fine; but after I upgraded it to El Capitan, I get white screen showing up every few minutes during regular coding and browsing. I searched online but most white screen problems of Mac users happened during the upgrade, but mine is during regular use. Anyone knows how to debug problems like this?
EDIT: some more clues --- 1. the pointer is still visible and I can move it around as well; 2. I can even take a screenshot of the white screen; 3. when I swipe up on touchpad I still get to "show my desktop", but after I swipe down the white screen comes back.
It sounds like there is a scheduled job that starts up in the background and runs an incompatible app. What does your console say when you reboot?
You need to remove 3rd party internet related software that isn't fully compatible with El Capitan and then reboot.
Also, did you try the fixes recommended
here.
Specifically
1) enter single user mode and run /sbin/fsck -fy
2) boot into safe mode
