Desktop tab is washed out when the desktop monitor is in HDR mode

Describe the bug?

While my monitor is in HDR mode, the Desktop tab of the Dash is washed out. Some colours are hard to distinguish, even though they appear fine on the monitor itself.

To Reproduce

Switch your OS and monitor into HDR mode.

Expected behavior

Desktop tab is usable even in HDR mode.

@shadowpanther - does this issue occur for you even if "bloom" is disabled (set to 0%) in the graphical settings. The bloom unfortunately has a tendency to overly brighten/overexpose values, even if they are non-HDR values as shown in this comment.

The Bloom setting does not affect the Desktop tab at all. Changing the monitor's HDR mode does.

Desktop tab in desktop mode, HDR on, Bloom at 100%:

Desktop tab in desktop mode, HDR on, Bloom at 0%:

Desktop tab in desktop mode, HDR off, independent of Bloom setting:

The workaround currently is to not use the HDR mode for the monitor.

Gotcha- thanks for checking/verifying that. Seeking input from @Frooxius or @Geenz. I assume we'd need to update our desktop duplication API integration to account for HDR.
