So I just installed Windows 7 beta, and I'm liking it in a number of ways.
However, I noticed when I play starcraft I'm getting this weird color messup (kind of like when you alt tab a lot and sometimes it gets messed up with weird colors), except on XP whenever that happened, it went away once I got into the game. This time I tried making a game and it was still partially there (the most notable place was the edges of fog of war... there was like this white line around the edges, it was pretty annoying).
I tried going into compatibility modes, and I tried running in 256 colors in the compatibility tab, but nothing will fix it T_T
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Does anyone else with the windows 7 beta have this problem?

This was a problem with Vista/XP until 1.15.3, so it is probably the same issue until Blizzard releases a patch to fix that colour issue as well. However, it seems odd that they would have too, since the impression I got from the 1.15.3 patch was that the colour processing code was changed to allow for systems without the correct 8-bit colour palette. Maybe Windows 7 has a different palette again. Strange.
PM R1CH, he'd know.

I'm not sure if this will work but whenever that happens to me with alt+tabbing usually you can fix the problem by just alt tabbing again and the problem goes away.

I knew Windows 7 would all sorts of BW problems, haha.
In "compatibility options" (if they still have it in Windows 7) and you can change color options to 256 colors. That's how it worked in Vista, anyway.

As said in the OP i tried that and it didn't fix it.
And no, it doesn't have "all sorts of BW problems," this is the only one. Everything else with it is perfectly fine, just the colors are a little messed up.

i have the exact same problem! i tried all the compatibility shit and nothing works. also, i'm dual booting vista, and the colors are perfectly fine in vista :S
|
are your battle net icons fine in vista as well?
|
had this problem, fixed it by changing video card color correction settings to "all programs" or something like that
|
This happens to me on vista sometimes. I had to disable the "High desktop scaling" or something like that. Basically it took away my transparency while bw was opened :/ Also I had to disable xfire ingame.

I had no real problems in my bw.
The problem was the color was messed up for everything except the b.net lobby and when actually playing the game
Which imo is where you spend 97% of the time anyways.

I fixed my problem like this with a NVidia card:
Go into Nvidia's display options (Display -> Advance -> something something until you get to the Nvidia control panel), in manage 3D settings go to program settings tab, add StarCraft and turn off everything.

This didn't work for me on a 7600GT. Could you maybe post a screen of your settings?

|
This happend to me on vista i had to play around with the settings in properties a number of times to get it to work.

What is the difference between 7 and Vista? They look the same (ugly) to me.
I use XP classic windows.
