Users are reporting that with multiple monitors attached to the MacBook Pro the local display profile changes from it’s correct setting when woken from sleep, resulting in a washed-out blue-ish look on one or both monitors.

Simply opening the ‘displays’ preferences panel results in the color profile automatically correcting itself back to the correct profiles. This can be a pain, so I have created this AppleScript Application which simply does the above automatically. Place it in your dock and click it whenever you encounter this situation. Hopefully this will be addressed by Apple before this application comes out of beta testing :-)

Update 10/7/2009: For four days now I have had the Screen Saver set to “Never” and Energy Saver set to “10 min” in System Preferences and I haven’t experienced this problem since.  I think the screen saver is the culprit of this bug.  Turning it off seems to stop the display profile from changing unexpectedly.
