You have been subscribed to a public bug: Ubuntu Hardy includes a few programs (xcalib, Firefox 3 Alpha, eye of gnome) that use ICC profiles, yet the user has no way through the user interface to actually configure them. There is also no GUI way to apply a CLUT (correction lookup table) based on a colorimeter profile. Hardy includes xicc, but there is no front-end to it. Also xicc does not support Xinerama properly yet.
The XICC specification is as follows: http://www.burtonini.com/computing/x-icc-profiles-spec-0.2.html For Xinerama screens, _ICC_PROFILE_N shall be set where N is the screen number. (not sure what the regular _ICC_PROFILE atom should be set to in this case.) For multi-screen setups, the _ICC_PROFILE atom should be set for each screen. There should be a way of configuring every display on the system in the proper manner. The applications should probably be recoded to handle multi-screen setups as well, but I believe the interface for configuring ICC as-per- the-current-spec should be available. xcalib supports both Xinerama and multi-screen setups, so correction LUTs should be applicable. NVIDIA however has not made TwinView expose separate CLUTs for each screen. Proper color management should be implemented in GNOME. It is necessary for those of us with wide-gamut monitors, which are becoming more and more common. We could even take this a step further and use DDC to identify the monitor and load the proper color profile for the monitor. ICC/ICM files are provided on almost all monitor CDs and are also downloadable. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Lack of ICC Profile Support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205745 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
