I finished downloading Portal today, and I launched it. After I quit out, my screen had a blue tint. I thought that I must have just not noticed it till now, but when I went to the Color settings on System Prefs, everything went back to normal. I didn't even calibrate it, just went to the Color tab.

Anyone else experience the same thing?

I have half of this problem.. On my macs it changes the colour profile but it switches it back again when I quit portal.. The same thing happened in older versions of crossover, so I suspect it's something valve need to fix.

The blue tint happens to me just before I load pretty much any full screen program. There is never a blue tint after, so I cannot see the problem. I think this is normal.

Happens with all full-screen OSX games unless they have an option to check "Use desktop gamma" like in World of Warcraft.

... But in portal and while running Valve games even in a window it changes the colour cast here. (though it still reverts to normal on quit for me)

That's just how it functions. Take it or leave it.
