ShaderGlass vs Windows display filters

How ShaderGlass differs from Windows night light, color filters and GPU driver effects.

Shader overlay versus system-wide setting

Windows Night light and Accessibility color filters affect color reproduction, while ShaderGlass adds advanced rendered shader effects over captured content.

When ShaderGlass is useful

Retro display simulation, VHS styles, scanlines and stylized pixel art benefit from presets that are not available in default Windows settings.

Limitations

ShaderGlass is not a replacement for calibration, accessibility filters or anti-malware tools. Capturing protected or fullscreen content can vary by application.
