What the title says. Anyone can post me a link to a mod to fix the colors?

Also I tried fixing the colors through Properties > Compatiblilty and applied 200 something colors and still nothing.

Try this, it works for other games.

After you have started, CTR-ALT-Delete to task manager. Go to Processes, turn off explorer, go to Applications and go back to SC.
Or open resolution settings window and keep it opened.

I'm not kidding :D

What Fenixp said or when you are done playing go back to task manager, go to File, New Task (run) and type Explorer. Everything should come back.

Or....what Fenixp said. :P

There are ways to automate it, but I'm too stupid for that. Plus I rarely play games that need that fix anymore. SC is too old and the X-Wing games are here now so I only need to do it with AoE 1 & 2.

... Or you can open resolution settings window, as I have said in the second reply :-P Just right-click your desktop and clikc resolution settings. It'll probably work.

Well I will say this the color issues are just for the menus. Before I asked I tried out the game and in game it works fine the colors are alright. Except for the maps that contains Water which does look a little glitched. And for some odd reason the Brood War cinematics and only those have the color glitch while the cinematics for the Vanilla game is alright?

It ruins the cinematics and worse Brood War had the better cinematics than the vanilla game imo.

Which resolution? And will it make everything look too big and blurry? And when I am done I have to set it back to 1080p?

(My Desktop monitor is a 1080p inch screen)

If the explorer-killing process works for you, you can also try . Alternatively, you can try [url=http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/374126-starcraft-brood-war-windows-7-color-fix-registry]this

This has never worked for me.
Why is there not a color fix mod like for Diablo 1?

I read the thread and it looks complicated.
Elmofongo, have you read my post? Keyword: w7ddpatcher

edit: complicated? You just chose the .exe and It adds registry keys, done
