Accessing Win7 Color Management?

Hi,

I was wondering if there is an API command-set, or some other way to access Windows 7's Color Management options from a PB program?
The reason I'd want to do this is because some games mess up my display settings and I'm sick of having to open control panel -> color management - advanced - reload current calibrations in order to reset my display to how I have it calibrated.

I guess I could write an autoIt macro too, but I was curious if it could be done in API or not.

I think Rashad's stuff on Windows Themes is at least related:
Windows Themes

No, that seems to be related to Windows Color Themes only. I'm talking about Color Calibration, i.e Brightness, Contrast, Gamma (R/G/B) values, Color Temperature, etc.

Zach, you need to go with the API for this I think.

ICM 2.0 API can be used in Windows 98 and later or Windows 2000 and later operating systems. WCS 1.0 API can be used in Windows Vista and later operating systems. I have not looked, but i think there is an SDK for these, remember reading about them at some point in the past.
