Software:Gamma Control
Gamma Control is a Windows-based system utility developed by DesktopNerds.
Gamma Control allows a user to adjust the gamma level on the computer, by pressing custom hot key combinations. This makes it possible to adjust the gamma level, in games and using programs, having Gamma Control running minimized in the background. It also offers a feature that allows the user to put all the monitors connected on standby mode, by pressing key combinations.[1]
History
Gamma Control was originally made as a simple alternative to PowerStrip, for adjusting the gamma. The PowerStrip alternative was made for use in Counter Strike, by the clan BSoD: Beyond Saints of Divine. Gamma Control was eventually uploaded to the website of one of the clan members, DesktopNerds, in 2008. The download count for Gamma Control quickly increased and requests from users coming in for future updates and improvements. Over time, the clan members stopped playing Counter Strike, and the improving of Gamma Control got more serious, as the demands grew.[1]
