Hello, everyone!

My HP laptop has Intel graphics, a gamma of 2.2, and I am unable to change it.

So I went ahead and got the Opera browser's "Make Chrome Text Black" plugin.
It performs admirably! So many changes, no more difficulties with text reading...
Opera should incorporate this into their browser!
Every few minutes, my eyes thank me!

I appreciate your knowledge.
Enjoy your day.

Hello @rubismith
Glad you posted as I had a another comment to add to thread and now don't have to hunt for thread.

I suggested using Windows Ease of Access High Contrast Black as a method to help view web pages easier.

I see Opera now has a toggle to "force website pages to use Dark Theme". This is much simpler than using High Contras as I had suggested but there are no adjustments for custom colors.

This is screen grab of what this post looks like

. . . for some reason can't upload pic, sorry about that

@happyhomesteader another possibility related to having difficulty with contrast is possible developing/having cataracts. I went recently to eye doc and have them. Surgery scheduled in a few days. Will see how that turns out. Take care

I'm just trying to be funny; I'm sorry if that offends; but I don't know my monitor gamma from my mama's grandma, so it's probably best if I stay out of it.

Additionally, my vision recently changed, so I grabbed an old pair of tinted glasses, which are why the screen is already too dark. Smoky grey glasses' pinkish tint is even worse. Since everything has a pink tint, grey text is difficult to read. LOL

Having cataracts is a different possibility associated with having trouble with contrast. Recently, I visited an eye doctor and was given them. In a few days, surgery is scheduled. Will wait and see how that goes. Be cautious

@happyhomesteader Thanks for the good wishes. Got 1st eye done just yesterday, didn't realize how bad eyes had gotten. Like brand new. have other eye scheduled early Mar 2023. @happyhomesteader (/post/291284) said: > "I hope that works out okay for you!" If I read between the lines does that hint at some kind of hesitancy / avoidance on your part? I think it was well worth it. By all means should be considered.
