Display and Brightness Customization

• 🎨 The Color Scheme allows adjustment of display saturation, with options like Original, Vivid, Saturated, and advanced choices (P3, sRGB).
• 🌈 Users can also adjust the tint of the display, choosing between Default, Warm, Cool, or a Custom setting to alter how white and other colors appear.
• ⚡ Refresh Rate can be set to Default (adaptive for battery saving) or Custom (60Hz or 120Hz), with 60Hz recommended for better battery life if the difference isn't noticeable.
