OLED four subpixel rendering issue #720

Description

I've bought a OLED monitor, which has four subpixels I believe arranged as RWBG, looks like this:

Interestingly you may notice these 4 subpixels never all lit up simultaneously, which is very logical.
Mactype have no corresponding subpixel rendering option for this layout, neither RGB nor GBR look good, so I switched to grayscale rendering. It looks ok with this option in most places, but the troublesome Chrome's rendering can't be altered, here's what it looks like:

My doubt is: if Chrome's rendering can't be altered by Mactype's config file, that means it's not rendered by Mactype, then why it stuck in subpixel rendering? who does that? I've tried adjust Windows' cleartype settings, no effect at all, and the cleartype preview is also not subpixel rendered. So who does that? Is there any way I can have it switches to grayscale rendering?
