ClearType settings per-screen

11

2

I am a bit confused about the per-screen ClearType settings. Some people say ClearType can not be turned off for a single screen in a dual-monitor setup, but a PowerToy is able to change the ClearType settings to be different for each screen.

My problem:

My primary monitor uses a BGR-subpixel layout, my projector uses RGB. I want to keep ClearType turned on because default AntiAlias / no AntiAlias looks horrible and some programs don't even support that. I just want ClearType to render in the correct subpixel order on each screen.

Can I set it up that way? I am using Windows 8.1.

(How would that even work technically, Windows would need to redraw the window when moving it to another screen?)

You could refer to this link here, as this problem has been solved already.

Is it possible to have different cleartype and color settings in a multimonitor setup in Windows 8?
