[SOLVED] Some programs under Wine break color correction

Not sure if this is a wine bug, KDE issue, or something else.

My screen is calibrated and the ICC profile is loaded by KDE. However, some programs under Wine simply break it every time they run, forcing me to go to the KDE settings, switch the correction off and then back on again for it ti take effect again.

With some games making them run in full screen window solved it partially, but with others they break it again when they gain focus.

Some examples:
- Battle.net (now Blizzard app) breaks it whenever I launch a game
- Diablo 3 breaks it if fullscreen, windowed works
- Star Craft 3 brakes it no matter what, even in windowed, after I fix it breaks again when gaining focus
- Witcher 1 breaks it upon launch and upon closing. In between alt-tab and fixing works.

WoW on the other hand does not break it. Most of my Steam games don't break it either, but some do.

Any idea what can I do about it?

Or should I rather make a bugreport with KDE and/or Wine?

you can try this workaround I had to use for redshift, it sounds like a similar issue

no worries, I had to scour the interwebs to find it, that's why I figured I should add it to the wiki. it's a very obscure setting for what seems like a somewhat common problem
