OS X Transparency Flickering - Convenient Fix?
Hey all,
I think issues with DisplayLink and transparency has been written about on this form more than a few times. It's been explained that it's due to some underlying OS X inner workings that DisplayLink can't work around, and that checking "Reduce Transparency" in your System Preferences, Accessibility settings totally fixes it. See (older but still relevant): http://www.displaylink.org/forum/sho...t=transparency http://www.displaylink.org/forum/sho...t=transparency My Question: I like turning it back on when not using my DisplayLink powered devices, but going into the settings overtime, while minor, gets tedious over time. I'd love to write a tiny script in Automator, save it as an app, and put it on my dock to take care of turning it on and off in one click. But I can't find a terminal command to enable the "Reduce Transparency" setting. Does anyone know a terminal command to turn on and off the "Reduce Transparency" setting in System Preferences, Accessibility settings in OS X? Thanks! |

Yes, I have two scripts:
Disable: Code:
#!/bin/bash defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0 defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool true killall Dock Code:
#!/bin/bash defaults delete com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool false killall Dock |
