Changing Color Of Monitor?
Jun 22, 2009
i would like to program a little app that will change the colors of the screen. im not talking about the darkness. i want it to mimic what it would look like if for example you put on blue lenses or red lenses. so i would like to input the color and i want the screen to look as though i put on lenses of that particular color. well i actually need the program to semi-permanently change the users experience on the computer. i need the computer for the entire session that it is turned on to be changed this color

Now this program will only be used on systems that I produce, and send out. I need to make sure that for any monitor that these people use it will always be at the standard resolution of 1440 x 900..
I have tried setting up profiles with catalyst control panel, but if you plug in a different monitor to the one that was plugged in when you made the profile it wont recognise the screen and the system wont run properly.
So I wanna see if I can change the resolutions of the screen that will be plugged in the monitor slot and also if possible make sure the other extended screen should there resolution of 1024 x 768..how much control can you get over the monitors that are plugged in?

I'm designing a player application to accompany our phone system. As our calltakers take calls, it makes recordings of each call. They can go to a list module, find a recording and double click, which opens my player. The issue i have is that if the calltaker gets another call, my player doesn't know it and will continue playing. I'm looking for a way to monitor the screen in a particular area and when it sees yellow or red instead of blue, it will pause my player.
The phone system does not have any API's that I can hook onto, so I have to try it another way.
The screen resolution never changes and the queue buttons where they receive calls will always be static. When they get a call, a small area changes from the background color blue to yellow or red to indicate a call.

I am making a game similar to Final Fantasy (anyone ever heard of it?), and I want there to be gauge like ATB (Active Time Battle), like there were in the later games. The ATB gauge is a gauge that controls when a character can act, whether it be attacking an enemy, or healing. The gauge is only used in battle. So can I change the color of a progress bar's...progress? The green part that's fill(ing)? Because the ForeColor property doesn't change that color.

But can we change the colour of a Progress Bar to another colours depending on it's value.
For example:
When the value is between 0 and 40 it's colour turns red. And when it's 40-80 yeallow and 80-100 Gree.
I don't wanna do it by changing it's theme. all the ways I read will make me change the theme.

How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.

Is it possible to programatically change the color of entire listview columns (vertical)? I know it's possible to change the color of entire rows (horizontal): ListView1.Items(priceRow).BackColor = Color.FromArgb(87, 68, 34) Changing the properties (forecolor, backcolor) in the listview collection editor did nothing.

I have a subroutine for changing the datagridview's columns' colors on form load.Now, everytime the user change a cell's value, the cell's backcolor is changed.If the user click 'save' the program will call the subroutine for changing color.I got everything working except the part that it will return to the color on load after save. I think I should refresh my datagridview but I don't know how to do this.

Windows forms .net 4.0 vb application. This is a small trivial thing but I was trying to just change the color of one word in label.text. But its not happening and I have a strong feeling that to make it happen is going to be more extensive than its worth... A snippet of what I am trying to use is below...
Dim _changeLabel1 As String = " Note Fields Marked in "
Dim _changeLabel2 As String = " are Required"
Dim _attrib As New Label

But there are ALOT of labels (about more than 300) and typing them out (or selecting them in the menu) consumes alot of time. Is there anyway to put the rest of them? I have about 8 groupboxes with these labels that need to be changed (there is another one that doesnt need this) so they are labels inside of groupboxes.
