looks normal on my end? Washed out usually means bad color management settings. ---

What does your monitor config look like, in Hyprland? Also, are you using an HDR monitor by any chance? And what screenshot/screen recording software are you using? May be related to: > > > scRGB requires FP16 to work properly #9064 > FP16 allows color values outside 0.0-…1.0 range. Some shaders aren't ready to handle such values. > It makes sense to keep main buffers in linear rgb with FP16 format to simplify the CM and keep the maximum current precision. That will require to do CM twice: from client to main buffer and from main buffer to device. The second CM step will clash with \`decoration:screen\_shader\`. > > \#13631 > > \- \[x\] Add an option to change internal format to FP16 > \- \[x\] Use linear sRGB (instead of monitor format) to render to the main buffer > \- \[x\] Add a second CM step to convert linear sRGB to monitor format instead of \`decoration:screen\_shader\` > \- \[\] Add back \`decoration:screen\_shader\` (second draw call? some way to integrate into the CM shader?) > \- \[x\] Verify that all shaders work as intended with FP16 > - \[x\] blur > - \[x\] borders > - \[x\] shadows > \- \[x\] Check various image exports > - \[x\] Screenshots > - \[x\] Screen record > - \[\] Mirroring > > > With the Following monitor config: > \`\`\` > monitor = DP-1, 2560x1440@360, 1440x1900,… 1, vrr, 1, bitdepth, 10 , cm, hdr , sdrbrightness, 1.2, sdrsaturation, 1 > \`\`\` > the resulting screenshot is Desaturated (original image:https://wallhaven.cc/w/96eq8k): > > !\[Image\](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1bdafca2-9b95-41a6-a0f1-16c7049211e2) > > > The screen grab Hyprexpo captures of each workspace is washed out when HDR is en…abled. > > Hyprshot is also washed out when screenshots are captured so unsure if it is a similar/related issue. ---

screenshot output is fixed but screen recording washed out issue still remains
