VibranceGUI affects secondary screen

[DetectiveSquirrel]

Affect Primary Monitor only: On
Affects second screen when changing to the Windows Vibrance Level which as i understand is the "Default" level to go back to when not affected by what program is running.
I have tried to beta version and its the same thing, can this program not change the values at all for the secondary screen when this setting is turned on?

Hook me up on Twitter https://twitter.com/juvlarN/ so I can direct message you. I might have a fix for this in mind.

EDIT:
Nvm, I actually don't have an idea. Code looks good to me.

Is there anything special about your multi monitor setup?
Which default vibrance value are you using for your secondary monitor?

@DetectiveSquirrel any update?

I have this problem as well.
It often affects my 2nd monitor and I have to reset the vibrance for this monitor manually.

My main monitor is 1920x1080 using DisplayPort while my 2nd monitor is 1920x1200 using DVI if that makes a difference.

Edit:
Saw i was a few versions behind (2.3.0.4) ill try updating and let you know here if it fixes the problem.

Update:
Seems to be working better after I upgraded!

Only thing i noticed now was that it didnt reset the main monitor if i clicked something on the 2nd monitor. But it did reset as soon as something on the main monitor had something in focus.

Nevermind, today i've had the same problem again.

Vibrance is still applied to secondary monitor after exiting game, even if i have said to only affect primary monitor.

@ajohnsen can you explain more in depth what your initial setup is and when the value of vibrancy changes on your second monitor.

vibrancegui settings:
windows level: ?
ingame level: ?

Which steps do you do?

1. start game, everything is fine (second monitor is unaffected but primary monitor is affected)?
2. tab out, everything is fine?
3. close game, second monitor is affected?

is this reproducible, e.g. it happens every time in the same way?

and have you checked what your nvidia control panel reports as the Digital Vibrance value for your second monitor when you get it in that "unwanted" state? what number does it report?

[ajohnsen]

My settings are:
Windows vibrance: 50%
csgo vibrance: 100%

'affect primary monitor only' and 'never change resolution' is on

Sometime it seems like when i tab back and forth that its only applied to the 2nd monitor and never reset it.

I tried to reproduce right now, i had a youtube video in fullscreen on the 2nd monitor while having cs on the other.
When i tabbed out of cs, maximized the youtube video, clicked a different program on the first monitor and then went back into cs it changed the vibrance on my 2nd monitor and not my first one.
But when i tabbed out of cs, it fixed my 2nd monitor.

There has to be some kind of edge case, or a race condition or something. Because its very hard to actually reproduce.

Does it have any log files anywhere?

[juv]

There are no log files for tracking this down at the moment.
But it could be that Windows is assigning the game to your second monitor for a short amount of time when you tab out and because of the event driven nature of vibrancegui - as in "all of your application switches into foreground are given to vibrancegui by a windows api " - it is possible that the game is triggering a change for your second monitor. And after that switch, vibrancegui will then not retrigger because of the "affect primary monitor only" setting :/~

@ajohnsen can you try this version here and see if this problem was fixed? #95 (comment)

[ajohnsen]

Tried it a little, and so far its working. I'll comment again if I see it happening :)

[ajohnsen]

Seems like this version also has this problem, I guess it happens when I alt tab a lot. Do you have a version that have some logging that i can monitor to see if i can find what triggers it?

[Manue3pii]

Thank you, starting csgo without "Affect primary monitor only" was the fix for me ^^

Edit: I don't know yet wether that is only a temporary fix or not, this happened to me for the first time last night

[vphcat]

Yes starting csgo without "Affect primary monitor only" fixed it for me aswell thank you :)
