EQ "brightens" my desktop

Probably have to restart machine to correct it, unless you have a monitor calibration (software/hardware) thingy like Spyder. My monitor has to stay calibrated so I have one, and whenever a game screws up the gamma I can reinvoke the correct settings by restarting the calibration software.

Just turn down the gamma setting inside of Everquest itself, in the options. It will darken the game a bit, but your screen won't be super bright when you log out.
