Applications need a CMM, lcms2, AngryCMS, those libraries do the color correction,
the application has just to know 2 things*: Which profile the whole screen is using,
and which profiles are available that it could use. With this information it calls
what is best lcms2 or AngryCMS, be it on Windows/OSX... now imagine if
you are on Windows and there something conflicting there, which stack will
you trust the native one or a third part software?

*basically before someone kills me...
