OT Inverted/negative picture viewer?
Furthering my quest to make dark Windows look fantastic.
VLC media player includes an option to invert video colors. Apparently that will negate having to toggle color inversion whenever playing a video. But looks like VLC fails as an image viewer. So I need a picture/image viewer that will show pictures inverted. I have found some that allow inverting colors in the editing process, but I'm talking about viewing successive images inverted without having to repeatedly change settings. Like VLC media player, but for pictures instead of videos. Thanks. |

Perhaps you could use that somehow ? http://www.robvanderwoude.com/files/iviewcli.txt irfanview /invert ... But that's not likely to make the decorations on the Irfanview window do the right thing.

Paul I do not understand what you are doing. Are you running movies with the colors inverted, or are you taking individual pictures inverting the color and using them as screen savers. With a toolbar function, Irfanview will invert the all colors on any picture that it is showing. In addition you can invert the red, green, or blue channel of the picture for different effects. |

Paul I do not understand what you are doing. What, specifically, don't you understand? Are you running movies with the colors inverted, Yes, VLC media player makes it easy. After you change a setting, every video you run is inverted. or are you taking individual pictures No, I'm talking about viewing pictures. inverting the color and using them as screen savers.

I can do without. All Windows colors can be manually inverted whenever viewing pictures. Besides having to press a keystroke combination or say "invert", the only downside is that everything else in Windows in the background becomes white, so the image viewer needs to be maximized. Seems weird that VLC media player allows persistently inverting the color of videos but apparently there is no picture viewer that allows persistently inverting the color of images. But, oh well, I guess that's just the coolness of VLC media player. |

I'm not sure which GDI operation will do what you want. the color transform for 'negative' would be to invert the angle on the color wheel to be 180 degrees of what it was. it's only a 2D transform so maybe not that hard, read RGB for each pixel, use the calculation for 'chroma' and invert it to 180 degrees of what it was, then re-calculate RGB from that, write the pixel, then when you're done, display it. Have it read every file in a directory, one at a time, and let you scroll through them with arrows. that'd work, probably. |

It loads images and plays videos, all inverted. |

OT Inverted/negative picture viewer?
For Chrome, writing an extension that will invert images and videos
seems easy enough (via copy and paste). If so, that's just about everything to make a complete dark windows theme, except for uninverting still images in Windows outside of chrome. It's really luck that VLC media player just happens to include a option to persistently uninvert videos. Since picture/photo viewers do not even do that, I can't imagine any other video player doing that. There are some Chrome extensions to invert pictures and videos, but for some strange reason they do not simply invert, they add some tint. One chrome extension appears to do videos well, but it doesn't do pictures, and it includes stuff that isn't necessary. I see no difference in CPU or memory usage when inverting or uninverting videos. -- Chrome manifest file... { "manifest_version": 2, "name": "invert videos and images", "version": "1.0", "content_scripts": [ { "matches": [ "all_urls"], "js": ["content.js"] } ] } javascript file... javascript:var imgs=document.getElementsByTagName("img");for(i=0; i imgs.length;i++){imgs[i].setAttribute("style","-webkit-filter:invert (100%)");}; javascript:var vids=document.getElementsByTagName("video");for(i= 0;i vids.length;i++){vids[i].setAttribute("style","-webkit-filter:invert (100%)");}; Won't do all items of concern, but it can be edited. |
