Changing the default ought I think to be its own patch as it's a separate discussion to having the choice there and easy to make. For the palette why does it needs changing and exactly what standards document defines 'right', especially given we don't do ICC in console mode ? Have you tested the values used against multiple monitor types and cards with a light meter ? BTW visibly breaking the Nvidia crud is also fine. They'll then actually bother to fix it and uually quite soon. Alan
