Fizeau

Adjust the color of the screen of your Nintendo Switch.

Features:

• Modify the color temperature of the display.
• Filter colors to one single component.
• Apply color corrections: gamma, luminance, and color range.
• Control the screen backlight brightness.
• Schedule settings to be applied to dusk/dawn time, with smooth transitions.

Installation:
Download the latest zip from the release page, unzip it to the root of your sd card (be careful to merge and not overwrite folders), and reboot.
Only the latest version of the Atmosphère CFW is supported.
If you want to use the overlay, you will need to set up Tesla (install Tesla-Menu and ovlloader). This isn't supported on firmware versions prior to 9.0.0.

Supported firmwares:
All firmares are expected working. The software was tested working on 1.0.0, 2.0.0, 6.0.0 and 10.1.0. If you encounter an issue running this on a particular version, please create an issue.
Settings:

• Settings are saved at /switch/Fizeau/config.ini, which you can also edit.
• To reduce the memory usage of the sysmodule, settings are not read continually. Instead, they are applied on application launch. Thus, you will need to launch the client after a reboot to restart Fizeau.

Thank you very much! Is it a chainloader version, or without one?

I didn’t see the Chainloader version when I pulled this.

Not saying it wasn’t there, just that I was only looking for the non-CHL version and thus I only downloaded the app version that I needed.

It suddenly stopped working for me. Can't see any changes I'm doing. I tried to re-install it, but nothing works.
It worked fine for weeks. All I did was updating the Firmware a few weeks ago.

E:// All it changes is the screen brightness, nothing more.

E2:// Fixed it after deleting everything in my SD and freshly installed everything. No clue what caused this error.

The chainloader is unchanged from 2.3.0, theoretically, you can use it by putting the atmosphere\contents\010000000000CF12 directory into your SD card's atmosphere\contents

However, this is causing atmosphere to be unable to load, so presumably it requires changes to be compatible. Sadly the project hasn't been getting maintained.

Dear @averne, please update it to FW 15.0.0, AMS 1.4.0 support. Thanks!

Dear @averne, please update it to FW 15.0.0, AMS 1.4.0 support. Thanks!

the overlay of fizeau is still working on 15.0.0 ams 1.4.0

Did the developer abandon this? It has one or two bugs but it's one of the most impressive things in Switch homebrew for me.

Does it just need a hacky build? I need to update my build stack but this might be an easy fix. Will try later today.

You need only to update libstratosphere from atmosphere-libs to newest version and compile.

You need only to update libstratosphere from atmosphere-libs to newest version and compile.

Not so simple.
First thing is that Nintendo reduced the number of lbl sessions available, so I can't hold one anymore, I need to re-acquire it everytime I need it.
Second thing, I use a frozen fork of libstratosphere because I was tired of constantly having to adjust for the numerous rewrites it periodically goes through. However, it stopped being able to compile with the newest version of gcc.

Is there a general recommended setting or presets for FIZEAU?
What I noticed with the OLED-like setting that most people are posting is that you lose some picture/text as it darkens the screen, for instance, in Super Mario Odyssey home menu, there is text floating that you cannot see with that proposed setting active:
gamma_day = 1.85
gamma_night = 1.85
brightness_day = 1.0

Hi all,
Here is a build that should work on all firmwares up to 15.0.
I've also fixed two issues: one that caused a system crash on lite units, another that caused longer shutdown times.
Backlight control is still disabled on 14.0+ while I look into options to reenable it.

As usual I would appreciate feedback before publishing an actual release.

awesome will test!

So it works on 15.0.0. But while you said backlight control is disabled, enabling Fizeau does make it extremely dim, and it ignores any backlight controls. is that what you meant?

There are two different ways of controlling the brightness.
The first changes the actual backlight luminosity. This is equivalent to the setting the official quick menu has.
The second changes the "luminance". This is a parameter that affects gamma curves to make colors appear dimmer.

The first has been broken since 14.0 due to firmware changes. The second still works as expected.

Thanks for the update and bug fixes. The new version works completely fine on latest atmosphere and 15.0.1

Working GREAT so far. Thanks @averne !

One nit is my overlay still shows 2.3.0.



Might be something I‘m not doing properly on my end though.

 

[averne]

Not working on 15.0.1

Can you share details on the crash and your setup (crash report, console model, other installed sysmodules)

Working GREAT so far. Thanks @averne !

No indeed, I haven't bumped the version yet
