Settings that do not affect color games?

Is it possible to configure color settings of display for the desktop environment without having it affect apps full screen like games? Thank you.

I tried the nVidia Control Panel, also without success.

Mike

Hi posfan12,

Most of the programs will try to use the screen resolution common settings and color at the launch.  Most games will have separate video settings that can be changed once the game has been launched.  If the game is not compatible with the current settings, usually it will open in a default setting (like 800 x 600, 24-bit color) and can be changed.  If a program (specifically a game) will not start because of the current graphics settings, then you will need to check with the game maker to a possible command line switch that will force the game to launch with a default chart.

  • How can I delete unwanted notice of a change of browser settings that will not respond?

    The view is a window that appears while I'm in Google.

    below, as well as the yellow triangular warning [!], is a choice:
    'Keep my current settings', or
    "I am aware of this change and trust him.
    Regardless of all choices, clicking the [Yes] button has no effect.
    Neither will by clicking on the [X]

    I don't know what that means or how to remove it.

    To remove unwanted toolbars, try here first:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

    Most should have a Disable and a delete button. If find you one that has an off button, but not a button Delete, so no doubt it must be removed by the control panel "programs and features".

    I suggest disable all nonessential extensions and restart Firefox to see if that reverses the problem. You can reactivate some of your less critical extensions that you find the need.

  • Could not launch the game after changing settings

    Hi what happened was that I was in my call of duty black ops computer game 2 when I changed a setting for graphics in this game when I hit apply the settings he began the program and now it won't let me back in the game to reset the settings. What can I do? Help, please

    Hi Dennis,

    1. you remember what is the change you have made?

    2. what happens when you try to run the game?

    3. do you receive any error messages?

    Looks like you might have changed the resolution of the game. I suggest you to check if there is no specific file to change the resolution or the graphics settings. You can open the game folder and check.

    If the problem persists, perform the restore of the system to an earlier point when the game worked.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

    This image does not yellow-orange on my side. It seems that we have a color management problem going on here. Have you had your screen calibrated?

You have proof colors enabled in the View menu?

    Another that take it to the Apple store, anyone have any suggestions please?

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security issues, do not have access to your address of rescue or are unable to reset your password for any reason, your only option is to contact the Support of Apple ID, to speak to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID This way you can be attributed to the assistance, even if you do not have an AppleCare plan.

    You will need to be patient with the process and to be ready to prove without doubt that the account belongs to you. Do not expect access to be restored immediately and if you are not the owner of the Apple ID saved to the device the account will not be reset.
