Title: Different screen colours.
Post by: shirlton on November 06, 2012, 07:51:47
Since the upgrade I have found it very difficult viewing the bright white screen thats why I am not on here much. It may improve after my cataract op in Dec.
Have had sciatica this last week and haven't been able to sit at the pc so have used Tony's laptop. His A4A screen is still the lovely soft blue colour. It was so much easier on the eye.

Click your windows symbol and click on help and support and then search for ....

Calibrate your display

Click on Calibrate your display and then scroll down to and click the start display calibration
You should be able to set it to suit your eye sight.

Sorry I meant in windows itself assuming you are on a windows operating system

If you are on Windows 7 the windows flag icon normally bottom left then follow the instructions above

However if you are still on Windows XP or older versions you should go to control panel then click on display then select the settings tab and then advanced and in the tabs you should find one with a control center for your display which allows you to change settings
