How to turn entire application's color into a "green scale"

[Flyte]

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,

buy a vga video cable and pluck the red and blue pins of the back.

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?
