[RFC wayland-protocols v3 1/1] unstable: add color management protocol

Sebastian Wick sebastian at sebastianwick.net
Mon Mar 18 01:12:59 UTC 2019


This protocol allows clients to attach a color space, rendering intent
and HDR information to surfaces and to query outputs about their color
spaces and HDR capabilities.
