Pass --disable-gpu down to Electron apps on mac (Slack, Whatsapp, Trello, ...)

disable-gpu-mac.md

On my Macbook Pro (OS X El Capitan) I was having issues on Electron based apps. These apps had visual issues/glitches like blank screens, visual components showing only when hovering or transparent menus.

By opening with these comands, the problems disappeared.

open /Applications/Slack.app/ --args --disable-gpu
open /Applications/Trello.app/ --args --disable-gpu
open /Applications/Whatsapp.app/ --args --disable-gpu
