WISHLIST: Make the gamma control a pop up, like with a hot key, presenting a small window. That way I could adjust the screen gamma window while at a certain website, notably Netflix.
Can you explain a bit more why you want to adjust the gamma like this?
More explanation: I was thinking a quick and easy popup to adjust gamma on KDE would be very useful to people who watch a lot of Youtube videos and such, also movies. Quality can vary quite a bit and a quick easy method of adjusting the screen would be very handy.
Thanks, but what's the use case? Why do you want to adjust the gamma? How does it help?
Here is a "mission critical" use case for me. I screen cast my iPad to my external monitor via the Linux utility Uxplay. I do this for art projects using Procreate ($12.99). There are differences between what the iPad shows me and the big screen display of it as I work. The two screens MUST be as close as possible in appearance. Often this requires frequent minute adjustments on the fly. Being able to pop up a little gamma app to do this would be a big help.
Thanks. But why does adjusting the gamma specifically help? That won't correct color related issues, just brightness-related issues. The best way to ensure that the two screens display the same thing is to color-calibrate both of them. Have you tried doing that?
In the Gamma settings menu you can adjust the colors individually. That is the feature I use.

Aha! So you don't actually want to adjust the gamma but rather the colors on the screen. This is an interesting use case but super niche, given the presence of an officially supported solution--which is to color-calibrate both screens so they display output that's as close as possible. As such I'm afraid we won't be able to officially support the request. That said, it's quite possible that someone (maybe even you? :) ) will create a 3rd-party Plasma widget or KWin script to implement the requested functionality and put it on store.kde.org for download.
Well, I figured out that when I pull up Krunner I can get a little gamma settings icon to click on and do what I want. So, I think that is it. :-D Doug On 2/14/23 12:23, Nate Graham wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465594 > > Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |INTENTIONAL > Status|NEEDSINFO |RESOLVED > > --- Comment #7 from Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> --- > Aha!
