If you design web pages with graphics and photos, you have undoubtedly had PC users say that your photos are too dark... well, at least it has happened to me quite a bit! :)
I wrote GammaToggle to allow a Mac user to very easily toggle back and forth between the two standard gamma settings. (PCs usually have uncorrected gamma, Macs default to corrected gamma, although with newer system software you can change the gamma in the Monitors & Sounds control panel, or "options" in Monitors control panel. -- cumbersome!)
How do I install it?
Drag the GammaToggle FKEY file (disguised as a font suitcase) to the Fonts folder in the System Folder. That's it! If you want to change the FKEY from the default setting of "9", then you must use ResEdit to change it. (If there is demand, I'll write an app to change it.)
How do I use it?
Hold down shift-command and press 9. (If you have multiple monitors, move the mouse pointer to the desired monitor.) If nothing happens, or you hear a system beep, that means that the monitor doesn't support gamma setting.
System requirements:
- System 7.5 or better. (May crash on older systems.)
- Should work on any Mac that supports gamma fading using standard device driver mechanism. (Tested on a Quadra 800 and PowerMac 8500/180.)
GammaToggle FKEY is "ThankYouWare". If you find it useful,
