Hello, I am the author of the X Color Management alias net-color spec.
I want to clearify its intention. The desktop has a range of regions originating from a heterogenous set of toolkits. Some might do colour correction some not. It is the goal of colour management to correct all regions. So all regions need to get a source ICC profile assigned. This will be implicitely sRGB. On the screen are as well colour management aware windows, which do already colour correction on their own. But they do that only in certain regions, and all toolkit widgets are typical not colour corrected like in Krita, Scribus and so on. For these type of applications is a opt-out of colour management a good solution. They can continue with their custom colour management and render directly to the screen under X11 but in a homogenous environment. The assignment of colour spaces to window regions through atoms is indirect. But with X11 there is no other means like offloading the colour correction of all undefined regions to a compositing window manager. Thats a late colour binding with some small artefacts, but generally a big improvement for most systems. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management oyranos-cms.blogspot.com oy@freenode#openicc _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
