How can I apply individual colour schemes to different monitors in a multi-monitor setup?

This article describes the steps needed to apply individual colour schemes to different monitors simultaneously when using a multi-monitor setup.

Applying individual colour schemes to different monitors in a multi-monitor setup is a quick and easy process. To do this, a setting must first be enabled with the following steps:

  1. Press CTRL + SPACEBAR to select the SuperNova Control Panel.
  2. Press Alt + V to choose the 'Visual' menu.
  3. Press U to choose 'Multiple Monitors...'.
  4. In the 'Display Mode for Extended Desktop' group, enable the checkbox for 'Allow different colour settings on each monitor'
  5. Press 'Enter' to choose 'OK'

 

Once the above setting has been enabled, you can enable your colour schemes individually with the following steps:

1. On the first monitor you wish to apply a colour scheme to, click anywhere on the monitor, or select an application present on the monitor and press CTRL + NUMPAD 0

2. Choose a secondary colour scheme with the following steps:

2a. Press CTRL + SPACEBAR to select the SuperNova Control Panel

2b.  Press O to choose 'Colour Schemes'

2c. Choose a different colour scheme from the list

3. On the second monitor you wish to apply a colour scheme to, click anywhere on the monitor, or select an application present on the monitor and press CTRL + NUMPAD 0

Both monitors should now be displaying differing colour schemes!
