I have an Apple Studio Display 17", ADC CRT, and overall am quite impressed with how close it is to matching what I get off the press. However, if I adjust the monitor as closely as possible to match what I get back from the printer, the Aqua interface, including menus, dialog boxes, drop shadows, etc, and even Photoshop drop down menus and dialog boxes look horrible. VERY yellow brownish, especially the drop shadows on the menus.

Anyone else experience this, or am I just adjusting the color profile so badly on my monitor that everything else is screwed up? Thanks for your feedback.

sounds about right. who cares what aqua looks like. you need to match your printer right?

Couldn't you set up an everyday profile and a print profile to use only when you need it? Otherwise, if you simply have to be in it all the time, you could check out one of the themes out there in the GUI Modification thread.

If you could give more info on what profiles your using in photoshop, what your adjusting for you monitor, like white point settings. I shouldn't have been so abrupt, sorry.

You could use a different OsX Theme aswell.

I don't think that it's a matter of themes. I think its the white point of the monitor in general and the selections of profiles used in for printing.
