    Hello everyone.

    First post ever, so I will get right to it.

    I have recently bought this beast (2760QM with 6990m) and since I use it alot, both for work and gaming I switch GPU alot, but it takes a while (5-10 sec) and keeps flashing because it changes to and from Windows Basic theme before and after changing GPU.

    I tried to use Windows Basic and then change GPU and it just turned the screen off then on and it were done in 2 sec.

    Is it possible to get the switchable exe or whatever it is (CCC?), to skip the theme requirement and simply change it with the current theme applied all the way?

    Thank you.
