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
Code:
"--------RRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGBBBBBBBB"
to
Code:
"--------BBBBBBBBGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRR"
and also some other combinations. Rebooted after several modifications without any success.

On Ubuntu there is dconf-editor, where you can modify
Code:
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings
property and set '
Code:
rgba-order
' to '
Code:
bgr
' or just run:

Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings rgba-order 'bgr'

But is there any chance to fix wrong subpixel layout setting on Mac OS? This problem manifests itself both on Hackintosh and if to connect extended Display to MacBook.

Thank you for any help.
 
And what about:
"BBBBBBBBGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRR--------"
I think that makes more sense...
