I need to support a night vision mode for my application. Is there an
easy
way to change the entire application into a green-scale color scheme? I
will not have access to the OS settings, and thus the color change will
have
to be done within the app.

thanks,
 
Ya, thanks for the suggestion.
Any other way to accomplish this within the software domain?
 
I would put code in a base form that sets the color scheme, and then have
all other forms inherit from that base form. In the load event for the base
form, I would call a routine that sets the color of all the controls and the
screen background, etc. I would write that routine so that it allows me to
specify multiple color schemes, and pass in a variable telling which scheme
to apply.

What I have thus far is not too far off from what you suggested.

However, this method requries me to re-color any images that I may use.

Is there any way to get Windows to use only a green scale color scheme?

What about application skinning (or themes like in gtk+, etc)
 
Not that I know of. Doesn't mean it can't be done, just
that I don't know of it. :-)
Good luck.

What about changing the display driver settings to use a green scale
color scheme?
Anyone know how to do something like this?
 
or even use DirectX to achieve this?
