Games Have Brightness Option. How does this work?
Author
Is there an command to adjust the display adapter''s brightness like there is in directx? How do opengl games adjust brightness?
I do it by drawing a big white alpha blended quad over the screen to increase the brightness, or a big black quad to decrease the brightness.
There may be a better way using extensions, but I haven''t come across it.

You can adjust your gamma using SetDeviceGammaRamp in windows

I believe the best way of doing this is to set the operating system''s gamma function/gamma ramp. When using SDL with OpenGL, you should be able to use SDL''s gamma wrapper functions SDL_SetGamma() and SDL_SetGammaRamp(). If you aren''t using SDL, you''ll have to use the X or the Win32 functions, respectively.
