CLOP app removes profile from DisplayLink monitors

Hi there,

I started using an app called CLOP which allows to re-size pictures easily.

https://lowtechguys.com/clop/

I have three monitors, one is directly wired to my Mac, two are wired via a DisplayLink dock. All three monitors are wide gamut and are profiled to rec709. So Without a profile, colours would look overly-saturated.

When the CLOP widget appears on screen, the two monitors wired via Dock lose their colour profile and colours become overly-saturated.

If I close CLOP, the profile is applied again. The monitor directly connected to the Mac is not affected.

I contacted the CLOP developer and - of course - they blamed DisplayLink. Well, the monitor directly connected to the Mac doesn't show the issue so I can see why.

I'm just mentioning this issue here in case someone has an idea of what's going on?

Thanks
