    Application-based actions to change Windows settings ( display, audio) or run any program or action

  • I've just discovered https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions which detects when a user-defined process starts and can toggle HDR on, then back off again when it exits. I've gone through the list at https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR)) to add entries for all the HDR-capable titles that I have installed.

  • HDRTray

  • https://github.com/res2k/HDRTray is also useful to quickly check the HDR status with an icon in the notification area.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm

    Transform Windows 11's virtual SDR-in-HDR curve from piecewise sRGB to Gamma 2.2

  • Also, you may appreciate this as it should allow for better color accuracy when using the hdr mode if it isn't solely down to what settings your display exposes when in sdr vs hdr. https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm sdr content looks much better ever since I set this up.

  • PlayniteEnableHdr

    An extension to automatically detect games with HDR support and enable HDR for those games
