The advantage of using + libcoopgamma over directly communicating with the + display server is you get support for multiple + display servers transparently (just like with + libgamma(7)), more importantly, all programs that + use libcoopgamma can change the gamma ramps without + overriding each others changes, they add their + own filters. Filters are ordered by their selected + priority and chained together by the cooperative + gamma server (coopgammad(1) or mds-coopgamma(1)) + and the result is applied. A third advantage is + that you can choose when the filter shall be + removed, this can either be not until it is + explicitly requested, or until the client that add + (or lasted modified) the filter disconnects from + the server or when explicitly requested, whichever + comes first. + +RATIONALE + One program cannot do everything and still be + user friendly. + +SEE ALSO + coopgammad(1), gc-tools(7) -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
