I tried: $ emacs -Q -fg white -bg darkblue
(the colours simply make the effect more obvious on my laptop) then evaluate in a *scratch* buffer: (modify-all-frames-parameters '((screen-gamma . 1.5))) then create a new frame with C-x 5 2 What I see is that any part of the new frame containing text seems to show what looks, to me, to be the now correct colour. Any part of the new frame which has yet to be "written on", shows the original, too bright, colour.
