[Release]: GammaControl v2.4

**SentraVIP** · 10-06-2006, 01:35 PM

Hi guys,

Lemme be specific, first. I got the white box issue popping up when I resume from hibernate. Not from cold boot.

Been meddling with the settings. I think I got the solution... Well, atleast for me.

About the white box thingy...

I notice it's got something to do with RR as when I click anywhere within the white box, it RR came launching back (initially RR is minimised).

For me, I innitially have four apps in the Startup folder.

1. RR
2. Touchmon
3. BT Soleil
4. Gamma Control

I switched the order in the instance below and now no more white box...

1. Gamma Control
2. TouchMon
3. RR
4. BT Soleil

I then restart the computer after these changes.

Then I try a resume from hibernation.

Viola... No more white box.

Will test it out more to see if this is a fluke and revert later.

Good night

Oops... Sorry!

Me bad. Well, it sorta temporary fixed it.

When done, the 1st resume from hibernation is ok (no white box). But on consequent resume, it comes back...

If this change happens during I am in my car - I can see how my screen staying more or less brighter - it is ok. And also if my FD is running the Gamma will automaticly change day or night skin in Free drive. But if let's say last time I started carputer was day and shut it down during the day (FD keeps day skin) if I start it during the night - gamma will switch brightness of the screen correctly BUT FD will stay in day skin

I checked the box Change modes in FD in Gamma Control Config but still nothing

How to ask Gamma to switch skins in FD doesnot matter what time I am turning it on (I want my screen in FD to be always on time of the day or night)
Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Looks like GC do not sending “switch” command to external applications on startup.
I have same problem with RR. I tested v2.4 and v2.3 and same problem is in both.
Is this wrong configuration or software bug?

one of my post on page 2 off this thread has a link to the thread in the RR section maybe there'll be some more info there that you need

I "Quoted" wrong post (fixed). I have problem with GC not switching skins in RR on startup (not from hibernation).

I'm seeing the same sort of behaviour - it was also described on page 2 of this thread:

It looks as though GC is only sending a "change skin" command to MM or RR at the sunset or sunrise times.

If the PC is switched on halfway through the day and GC finds itself in the wrong mode - it is smart enough to correct the gamma setting, but does not complement this with a skin change command.

Have I understood the intention of the program correctly - or am I missing something? (it wouldn't surprise me!
