Ultra bright display

[mrustad]

I am having an issue with improper display when using remote desktop to connect to my CentOS 7 server. Everything looks fine but when I open my application with Wine the display appears super bright and saturated, to the point you can’t read text in menus. Windows in the background are interfering with windows in the foreground. It’s almost like there is an alpha layer. This is on a virtual machine and the screen appears normal in Hyper-V. Any suggestions towards a fix are greatly appreciated!

That's one of my pet hates with Wine! It's probably changing the X Display gamma setting, because reasons!

A simple hack to (probably) fix your issue is:

Code: Select all

wine reg.exe ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver" "/v" "UseXVidMode" "/t" "REG_SZ" "/d" "N"

Since: XVidMode=Y ; is required to change the X Display gamma setting.

Thank you for the input! I fixed the issue by changing the color setting in Remote Desktop from Highest Quality (32bit) to True Color (24bit).
