ok thanks Graeme  I'll try, but I think that will be the same problem all over 
again.

as long as the 2 devices are running at the same time, that will work.

but whenever I will disable one, windows will apply its own defaut LUT no 
matter....but I'll give it a shot!

well yeah I got it right then, but if it says to lower "y" I lower the green 
contrast but then "y" increases ?!

I don't think I can achieve what I want with the "-p" argument.

basically I use it on my videoprojector, so I want it as big as possible, but 
still being able to read the ARGYLL precalibration infos(the 2 last lines of 
the command-line window).

atm, I have to make one precalibration pass then struggle to move the window.

if you could offer the option to move it by hand before the calibration, that 
sure would be VERY handy on videoprojectors.

the window remains always on top anyway, so there isn't much to worry about.

here's what I want to do :
