No matter the app settings, it is showing only the desktop, not the open window it is on top of.

This is macOS security preventing Sim Daltonism from seeing your screen. You can go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording, and toggle the permission for Sim Daltonism.

thanks for the tip, this should be in the FAQ inside the app :)

Maybe the app could be updated to detect that setting is not yet enabled, and prompt the user to go set it.

Ah, looks like #13 is requesting my suggestion.

It's certainly doable. In fact I accepted a pull request that implements this a while ago (alongside a whole new filter system and some other things), but now I find there are changes I want to make in this code + I need to port it to iOS (for the new filter system) so it's all sort of stuck until I look at things more closely, make some decisions, and work on all these things. And I guess I feel kind of blocked by having too many things on my plate, and so nothing gets done.

Long story short: if you build the code from the master branch you'll see this prompt. It still needs work on the UI side IMO, plus I need to sort out all the other changes, and so there is no release yet.
