Changing display color from B/W to color (vice-versa)using a program.

Question

Actually, I have a problem with eyes but I want to work in computer.
Since, black and white display would be much better than color for my eyes.
I needed a program so that, in double click I can make my display from black and white to color and vice-versa or a simple line of code.

Answer 1

• Check your graphics card's (advanced) settings. If there is a Saturation option available, try setting it to 0 (zero).

• I don't know whether it allows pure B&W or not, but something like Screen Tinter may help you. Here's the description:

  Some individuals with apparently normal eyesight, experience discomfort when viewing computer screens. Some report that the words appear to move, wobble or flicker while others say that the screen appears too bright or the words are too close together.

  This condition is referred to as Meares-Irlen syndrome. Those affected by the condition may skip words or lines when reading. Others report eyestrain or headaches after reading.

  In some cases these symptoms can be relieved by changing the screen colours.

  This can be achieved by changing the Windows Display Properties. However, this process is cumbersome and counter-intuitive.

  Screen Tinter is a free utility which allows the screen foreground and background colours to be changed at the click of a button.

Answer 2

In Windows 7 (for example)

Start -> Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Optimize Display

Tick "Turn on high contrast when Alt + Left Shift + Print Screen is pressed

If you need a desktop icon, you may be able to use AutoHotKey to create one (I've no experience with this).
