Here is how things are working for me:

On a desktop - Nvidia GTX660Ti, U2412m monitor, 100% gamma - human bard -> dark elf bard, froglok crown on/off. No external gamma fuckerwithers, just Nvidia control panel set to application controlled and flux completely closed out. EQ in a normal window (not using wineq2.0).
How many of ya'll with extreme darkness are on a laptop?
