Weirdest bug with font colors in IE
Hello, all.
My videocard died, so i bought a cheap replacement for now - Gigabyte Radeon HD 2400. Win XP SP2, Omega 7.12, and i got one of the weirdest bugs i've ever seen. In the Internet Explorer 6 and all applications which use it's engine colors of antialiased fonts shows wrong - red and blue components of it are swapped. I mean, if it must be, for example, #114488, it will be shown as #884411. When, if i selecting this wrong texts, their color revert to normal. I know it is hard to believe, so here is the small screenshots: http://takopus.ru/images/wtf_colors.gif. Text here meant to be blue - #000080 - but appears to be #800000 until i select it. Some friend of mine told he have exactly the same bug, but i can't verify now if he have same videocard and/or drivers. I tried to google it, but found nothing (which is kinda obvious: too common words to search and not too usual bug). So i was led here from Omega site in search for help or maybe understanding. =) I hope it is not a wrong place to write all this strange things - forgive me if it is. |

Neighborhood screw up.

Looks like a Windows theme problem, if anything.
First issue I saw, though, is the use of IE. :P

I remember this bug from a little while ago and I believe it was related to cleartype (aka: blurtype), and seems to be fixed in driver 8.2 if not earlier. I don't see it happen right now using 8.2 at least.

mkk, actually cleartype (of Win XP Powertoys) removes this glitch, but i don't like it since i have CRT-monitor. I'd rather go through this color swaps than have all the fonts antialiased that way.
As for driver 8.2 - installed 8.3 and yes, it solves the problem! Thank you thank you! There's another one, though: this drivers do not support 1400x1050 resolution i was using before, but i think i'll just have to get used to new one (1360x1024). Thank you again! |

IEMC, just in case: i'm not using IE for myself, but some other applications use it's engine, and that's there i meet (or, actually, "met" already) those glitches. Also i'm kinda web-developer, so i have to check my work on different browsers and IE is one of them.

In order to get a resolution not supported by the drivers, I recommend using PowerStrip.

IvanV, thank you. I know this tool from years ago, but i'd rather not to mess more than it is messed already. There's another bug here, for example: it monitors are turning off cause of long idle, they never turn on back, and the only way to reanimate them - put PC to sleep with keyboard hotkey and wake it up back. I'm not asking for help with this one actually - i'm just disabled this idle turning off feature. After all, this video card is a replacement until i get over my lazyness and buy something real. =)
And thank you again, all! |
