Hotkeys for screen color

September 29, 2026 · 3 min read · DisplayTune

Night falls mid-match and there is no time to alt-tab. DisplayTune hotkeys switch color without leaving the game, and an on-screen hint shows what happened.

What you can assign

ActionWhy
Color on / offInstantly return to the original picture
Compare with originalCheck whether it really looks better
Next / previous profileFlip, for example, "Rust — Summer" → "Rust — Night"
Jump to profileA dedicated key for each profile
Crosshair on / offShow or hide your custom crosshair
Black holo on / offFor the Rust holosight

Choosing combinations

If a combination is already taken by another app (Discord, OBS, driver overlay), DisplayTune warns you and suggests another one.

On-screen hint

When you press a hotkey, a label appears at the top of the screen for a second: which profile is on, or that color is off. You can turn the hint off in Settings if it gets in the way of streaming.

Real-world setups

DisplayTune does this in a couple of clicks

Saturation up to 350%, brightness, contrast, gamma and temperature, per-game profiles that switch on automatically, and hotkeys. Works on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. First day free.

Frequently asked questions

Do hotkeys work in a fullscreen game?

Yes, the combinations are global and work on top of any game.

Can I assign a single key without Ctrl or Alt?

Yes for F1–F24, numpad keys and service keys (Insert, Home, etc.). Plain letters without a modifier are not accepted so they do not interfere with chat.

What does "Compare with original" do?

It temporarily shows the original picture without the effect so you can judge the difference.
