Gradient Suggestion

Hello, this is just a suggestion on customization.

For some reason. You may notice that

I like Light Blue and Red but
TOGETHER said in my profile picture.

As of this, it is boring for me for a single solid color.

So.. I suggest a gradient color that you can customize but
still the original Windows 10 visual theme
NOT the classic one from the 19's and Windows 7.

But you can still choose a solid Windows color.

If this will be added I would be thankful.

I post this AGAIN but in the Microsoft Community this time.

Since Microsoft does not add it... since I suggest them on Facebook but I hear no news from the recent Windows 10 builds as they also agree.

 

Gradient Banding On My Full HD Monitor

encoded video = banding, & it can be reduced with dithering: http://www.vueplus.com/wp-content/uploads/video-banding-fixed.jpg

most games use compressed textures = banding, but maybe you can post some screenshots for others to look at

the monitor is 23MP65HQ? is it cheap? it's probably 6bit not 8bit = banding

steam UI? = banding due to the narrow color range of its gradients

here is a trick to confirm that the banding is the source image's fault & not your monitor: simply take a screenshot, use an eyedropper tool that displays the hexadecimal value, see if the actual color is changing exactly where the bands are (i can prove the steam ui has banding by design, technically the limitation of 24bit color with the colors valve chose)

now why does the tv supposedly not have banding? either it's dithering or crushing or your inspection isnt quite right or your desktop monitor is awful

you should post some (PNG!! lossless!) screenshots so we can be positive that the source image is a reliable test, the game shots will be most interesting, dont bother with steam, certainly dont bother with low resolution + low bitrate videos

 

Banding issues on 6300

Hi,

are there any known issues with the display of the Nokia 6300, especially concerning colour gradients and "banding" effect?

On my 6300 which I received a few days ago (production date 08/2007, FW 4.71), gradients do not appear to be as smooth as expected and show a slight banding effect. This can best be seen when using the original "Noir" theme, both in active standby and on the
default background..

Best wishes,

Karsten
