Under OS9, you can call up multiple displays in Monitors and assign a
display profile for each.
Same thing in X, using the Displays system pref. (Launch System
Preferences, go to Displays icon)
And I think you tell OS9, which is the "system
profile" for ICC savvy applications by where the menu bar is???
On 9 you do that with the ColorSync control panel, by choosing one of
your displays in the Displays popup.
It's not the menu bar. Photoshop at one point used the menu bar to
determine which display to use for the display using monitor
compensation.
You have several devices (displays, printers, cameras) and each one can
have a profile. You set each device's profile in software related to
the device, so, for displays you use the Displays system pref (or
Monitors control panel on 9) to choose each display's profile.
At a higher level you can choose whice of those devices is your
preferred device for each class, and that you do in the ColorSync
control panel on 9 and the ColorSync system pref on X. It's the same
thing on both systems. The ColorSync system pref/control panel has a
Display popup, underneath which is a list of your displays...you have
two displays, there are two entries. You pick one, and now it's the
"preferred display". For backward compatibility, if any app wants to
know the system profile, ColorSync finds the preferred display, finds
that display's profile, and returns it as the system profile.
(Anybody have a kleenex? I have this thing on my nose...)
