sfalcon Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 What resolution were you playing the game in? What video card/PC specs? Picture would be nice.

super_serge Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 here is a picture, basically all of firefox is too light, the smileys on neowin are glowing, and when a minimized app flashes because it loaded, you cant look at it because its glowing so hard. I was playing bfv at 640 x 480 resolution, 16 colors, and lowest quality on all the stuff, because I had a really resource-hogging app running in the background.

supernova_00 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 mess with your contrast and brightness on your monitor EDIT: its barely different then mines...its a little lighter but i think you just need to turn the brightness or contrast down just a little Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/202472-color-disfigurement/#findComment-584345287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_serge Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 i already tried it, and its not jsut that, everything seems to be lighter, i cant even see menus or scroolbars, when i turn brightness down, it just goes darker, but same amount of colors. I think the thing it could be is cuz i was playing in 16 bit color, to preevent as much of the lag from the hog app as possible and when i went back to windows, the 16 bit color stayed...
