QuickGamma is a very nice
tool, originally written by Randy ‘ydnar’ Reddig, which allows you to
set and reset the screen’s gamma easily. The program itself stays nicely
hidden in the tasktray, so it won’t take away any valuable taskbar
space.
You can download the new 0.1.2 version (which was created by me based on ydnar’s 0.1.1 release) here.
After my explorer crashed horribly a few times yesterday and I had to kill the old QuickGamma app in the task manager and then restart it again each time, I decided that something had to be done about it.
So after searching for too long in MSDN and with Google, I finally found some documentation on some custom-registered “TaskbarCreated” message. Shame on you, Microsoft, for not making this information easily accessible!
Anyway, I’ve added support for automatically reregistering the QuickGamma tray icon after an explorer restart and also removed the idle thread priority, so it should always be responsive from now.
Stay tuned and enjoy the new version of this neat, little tool.

PS: It also seems that the old download link is down, so, if you want the original QuickGamma, simply ask me.
