@nukie @LukeAlmighty me because i'm colorblind and linux doesn't have colorblind support

i still need to use one program to make quests for my game that doesn't work on linux too lol

otherwise i could switch right now and be totally fine

@beardalaxy @nukie
Unless something strange happens, I quit uni in 1 week.

Then, I will lose the last thing that held me there.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty how the fuck doesn't linux have colorblind support?! You'd really think that they would've built that into at least one of those graphical thingamabobs at this point

@nukie @beardalaxy
It's hard to find a linux user who doesn't have a problem with eyesight...

I really don't believe Linux would lack that feature.

@nukie @LukeAlmighty i know it's kinda weird lol, there is ONE program that has it but it isn't a screen filter, it captures a window and puts it in its own window in a filter so it's not a really good solution.

there's also a problem with colorblind modes in general where they simulate colorblindness instead of correcting it. almost every video game's colorblind mode is like that. even ios and android are like that. windows isn't, though. it actually corrects it and does a really good job, i just wish i could control the strength of the filter because it kind of blows out reds a bit.

@beardalaxy @nukie @LukeAlmighty I am not familiar with color blindness, but doesn't it mean that you only need to adjust color profile?

It can be done in many different ways

@AP5vkIa @nukie @LukeAlmighty color profile works differently, i'm not sure exactly how or why but i can't ever get good results when i've messed around with it in various places. some TVs have a red/green shift and skewing that a bit towards red is a decent way of doing it, but going into the settings and changing the individual settings i can't ever get it to be the same. it kind of messes with the black/gray and even other colors too much. it's really more about trying to get the balance/contrast right. if you boost red it won't just boost RED but it will make other colors look more red. kind of hard to explain.

the windows colorblind mode JUST changes the colors themselves. if there's anything with red in it, it will boost it. if it's green, it desaturates it. it doesn't touch blue at all. i didn't even know Twitch was purple until i started using the windows colorblind mode lol. i thought it was blue.

here's an example. you can see how the colors change. blue doesn't change because it doesn't get touched by the filter at all. red and orange don't change probably because they're already super bright and can't really be saturated beyond that. yellow is a weird one, it does get paler even though i'm not sure it should, so it's probably up to some color ranges that mostly work but might just be a little bit off.

if you were color shifting like what you have posted there, you would end up with blue getting shifted a little bit too and your whites/grays would be more red for sure.
