Press the menu button inside the browser and then go to Colours, see if that's set to Default

so there is no sgs3 color bug. Bug was that you did not know the changes you made to settings

There's a difference between the image that lies within the framebuffer, which will be stored when you take a snapshot, and the actual image that is displayed on your AMOLED
Maybe your display is a little whacky. If so, take your SGS3 back for replacement.

Maybe Browser settings is answer for that? Powersaving settings do that?? Test.
edit: not browser settings, its powersaving settings. there is option for that.

Well, first of all, thanks for the answer, but it still happens and pressing the home button 4 times doesn't change anything, though. Your answer is still appreciated much, though!
Second; I forgot the stats, maybe this will help...
I'm running stock ROM, rooted, busyboxed, running SiyahS3 (1.2.5) and have done nothing to the system partition (Which is odd lol) except deleting the bloatware... I'm still getting used to the device, seeming as I had the Nexus for 5 1/2 months (Untill it then broke) so, taking my knowledge from that, and from the S II, I still don't know what it is...
Turn off negative colours.
If using siyah kernel then press home button 4 times.
1 screenshot would have done.

Use the negative colours widget.
It comes with stock

Wallpaper problems

I'm trying to set a wallpaper from my gallery and it is not allowing me to choose a wide format to accommodate a 3 panel home screen. It only allows me to chose a single panel and when I slide to a panel after its set it leaves artifacts behind. See attached image.

I now think it has to do with my Launcher Pro.
I set it to not scroll the background for now.

My S2 didn't have this problem. I could choose multi or single panel.
Strange.

yea im having the same problem.. and im on LPP...
the touchwiz gallery app that ships with the gs3 doesn't let you set a scrollable background but if you copy the gallery2 apk (you can have both the touchwiz gallery and cm9 gallery on the phone at the same time) to set your background, which will do the background scrolling.
found this out tonight (after putting cm9's gallery on my phone this afternoon for something else).

Home screen and apps menu

Hi is it just me or do you all have the same on your home screen and app menu
First one is the home screen menu when you click on the apps it dose it's effects and looks like it should fade up and out

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it's still there not much of a problem but it dose get a bit annoying as them buttons can't be used so what's the point of keeping them there when the space could be put to a better use like more spacing between apps or for another row of apps?
The second one is the little tabs at the bottom to show what screen you are on one seams to be selected all the time is this due to the screen resolution?

Don't have this issue but you could try another launcher or try going to the ICS or JB touchwiz mods and try another Launcher size e.g. 4 x 5 icons or 5 x 5 icons
Cheers I installed go launcher and it solved both problems I forgot to mention it's on stock ics.
Would like to here from any one else with a stock ics s3 if they have similar issues?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
That's not right, you should flash a different stock firmware, you might as well be on the latest firmware anyway.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Cheers for the reply. I will give it a go tomorrow as the launcher is draining my battery a bit more than I would like.

Accuweather widget on different time zone.

How can I change it ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Tap the widget. On the top right hit the + symbol and add whatever you want.
You can also hit menu / setting and enable scrolling. Every 10 seconds or so it will change / scroll between the different areas you have saved

I wish doing that would also change the one on the lock screen...
Always tells me I'm in a different area....

Bro, this is caused by the ripple effect in S3. It will caused the dark colour wallpaper suffer from colour distortion. Two way to solve your problem, untick the ripple effect in the Setting or choose a wallpaper with light colour background instead of black. :laugh:
Hope it may help.
Yup, it's probably the ripple effect. Disable it.
