Hi,
I overlay an OpenGL application (c++), this openGL application uses SetDeviceGammaRamp to set the brightness of the desktop to very high (dont know why). This application is fullscreen and looks good, but my overlay is very bright. Instead of the orange color with normal brightness, I get yellow because of the high gamma.
What I want to do: Get the gamma that is currently set (using GetDeviceGammaRamp), and then use this to adjust the colors I set.
Like; glColor4f(r, g, b, a) becomes glColor4f(r / gamma, g / gamma, b / gamma, a);
So if the brightness of the desktop is very high, the r g and b values will be lower (darker) and will look like they should.
How can I accomplish this? GetDeviceGammaRamp fills a table, how can I use it to modify my colors?
Thanks
