Apple XDR Display P3-1500 Nits

0 votes

I'm experiencing an issue with yEd on my Mac. When my display is set to use the Apple XDR Display P3-1500 nits color profile, yEd does not function properly — the entire application window appears completely blank (white screen), and nothing is visible.

However, when I switch to a different color profile (like the default sRGB or Display P3), yEd works normally again.

This suggests that there might be a compatibility issue between yEd and the Apple XDR P3-1500 nits color profile. Please let me know if there's a workaround or if this can be addressed in a future update.

Thanks in advance for your support.

yEd runs without problems on our fairly new MacBook Pro M4 with Liquid Retina display and the Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits) reference mode. Thus I think there are other factors beside the reference mode that prevent yEd from working on your machine.

Do you have multiple displays connected to your machine?
Thanks for your response.

I've uninstalled YED several times. I'm mentioning the display because it's the only change that restores YED functionality.

If I did rollback the change, YED presents the issue again.

Anything else you can share?

Well, you can try to delete your yEd profile directory ~/Library/yWorks/yEd (see also "Help" -> "About"). Note, ~/Library does not mean the system-wide Library directory, but the one in your user home directory.

Other than that you could also try to uninstall yEd, install the latest version of Java (which is 24.0.1 at the time of this writing), and run yEd from the generic Java zip archive.
There are several vendors offering Java for free like Amazon, Azul Systems, BellSoft, etc. We usually bundle/use BellSoft's Liberica Full JDK.
To run yEd from the generic Java zip archive, extract the archive to a directory of your choice, open a console/terminal, change into the directory that contains the yed.jar file that was extracted from the zip archive, and run

java [options] -jar yed.jar

where [options] needs to be replaced with the options listed in the yed.vmoptions file that resides in the same directory.

Hope this helps.
