I don't think this is a UI issue. GU44 had a change in the game client to use the desktop gamma setting. If you've set gamma in the display properties on the desktop and also adjusted gamma in the game display options, it'll interact badly. Try adjusting your game options gamma, brightness and such to neutral and see if that helps. Also, check the GU44 thread in the official game update forum (
