Will check IE7 at work tomorrow.Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteațăhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139385023195949226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-1219577782194928522012-01-17T08:43:41.253-07:002012-01-17T08:43:41.253-07:00Thanks for the info Dorin.

The Mac version didn't do it, even though for a short while it actually color managed correctly simply by using the Mac OS X system libraries for this but that was removed a while ago. It appears Chrome for Mac has now returned to doing it the right way. <br />Interestingly, using the secret flag on Chrome for windows makes it behave almost the exact opposite of Internet Explorer which supposedly (can't check unfortunately) does understand embedded icc profiles, but does not at all translate to the monitor profile, so IE would be yes, yes, no, sort off. So IE is still the worst of the bunch.Jao van de Lagemaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853597371091364769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-9569484190876800752012-01-17T01:01:57.177-07:002012-01-17T01:01:57.177-07:00Also, there seems to be a performance penalty with...Also, there seems to be a performance penalty with color management on. I have long ago noticed that scrolling in Chrome is no as smooth as in Firefox (even with CM on) or IE.<br /><br />It turns out that with CM, Chrome does not use hardware video acceleration. With CM off, Chrome easily achieves over 100 fps (with V-Sync off). With CM on - scrolling is so-so.Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteațăhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139385023195949226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730121889169004991.post-65699194445341057972012-01-17T00:56:21.519-07:002012-01-17T00:56:21.519-07:00On Windows (latest Chrome) it is:
