Hi Mojave

sorry for my late reply but i your suggestion did not fix my problem and I jumped onto redshift instead. I have a x-particles render to execute this week, which is why I am hoping to restart this topic. I cant seem to fix this - i have tried the following

or perhaps from this rather obscure comment ...
