Yellow Filter With Mac?
Hey guys, I have a problem! Whenever I fullscreen WoW, a pale yellow filter seems to go over everything. It's really annoying (it also does this when I play GW2), and I can't figure out how to make it stop! My screenshots won't reflect the problem, so I think it's something with my computer. Any ideas?

What Mac, and what video card?
Never seen an issue like this. Also try changing some of your video settings.

I changed my video settings about, but it didn't seem to help any. However, if I play it in fullscreened window mode, there's no weird yellow. Just when it's actually fullscreened. I have a Macbook Pro, but it's ben a few years since I got it and I don't know the exact specs.

Well, it looks like you're not the only person with this issue when it comes to Macbook Pros, according to a quick google search. Just checking though to see if we're talking the same thing--are we talking tints like this?

Because it looks like people either get patches of yellow pixels, which I don't think is your issue, or the tint. And my guess is it's purely a display/screen issue on your end, since the screenies you take don't get it. It seems like a lot of various Mac devices and computers over all get this tint thing, and a lot of people just say it's your screen is weird/broken. Unfortunately, the solution appears to boil down to get a replacement because the computer is faulty. But if you can put up with it, then it isn't too big an issue and a lot of people appear to get used to it?
But if it is only games, then hmm.

Oh, weird. Yeah, that looks kind of what it's like! I think I likely will just let it be and try to ignore it. As I said, windowed mode is fine, and I'm supposed to be saving up for a desktop, anyway. Its certainly weird, though!

Re: Yellow Filter With Mac?
It does sound like your video card is just not handling it, for some reason 
Is there more than one video connector? If so, maybe try a different one and see if that also does it. And check none of the pins are damaged. I'm afraid that's all I can suggest short of getting a new card.
