Product: HP 255 G7
Operating System: Other

Background - moving over to Linux (Elementary OS) after 30 years with various iMacs.

 

Purchased HP255 G7 which was loaded (by a experienced Linux RedHat user) with Elementary OS.

All good, however, I would like to alter the screen contrast as finer print (in dialogue boxes) is harder to read.

 

There are no obvious controls within Elementary OS > settings other than 'brightness'.

 

Can anyone advise if contrast controls are available to me (without resorting to 'terminal' which, as a long time Mac user, terrifies me!).

 

Many thanks.

@NeilJay 

I'm sorry, but HP only warranties their PCs for usage with the OS that comes preinstalled.

IF you replace that with a Linux distro, or add a Linux distro, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- including solving any problems with booting the other OS and/or installing the other OS.

 

Your best bet for support now is to contact the support forum of the distro you are using.

 

Good Luck
