Black Screen Of Doom

Open dickiedyce opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

Hi, I'm running an 16 GB M1 MacMini, under Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70) with a single 5120 x 1440 @ 120.00Hz wide monitor. DeskPad was working marvelously before, and I was really happy with it. About a week ago, it suddenly broke.

The instant I open the application, the screen goes black.

I can't quit, can't ⌘-tab, can't close, can't force quite, or switch spaces. The screen is entirely black, and the only thing I can try is to cycle the power. And I need to hold down shift, to make sure that I can get back in, because otherwise I guess it tries to launch DeskPad again (although I have the restart open apps option unchecked) and the screen goes black another time.

I can't see anything in the logs? I've tried a reinstall. I've tried a clean-up of these files,

DeskPad.app
com.stengo.DeskPad 
com.stengo.DeskPad
com.stengo.DeskPad.savedState 

followed by a reinstall.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
