Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.

Examples described herein generally apply color transforms to visual content. A set of color transforms in a graphics pipeline that are requested by a plurality of applications can be determined. At least one of the set of color transforms or an ordering of the set of color transforms can be modified, based on one or more arbitration rules, to generate an arbitrated set of color transforms. The visual content can be generated for display based at least in part on applying the arbitrated set of color transforms in the graphics pipeline.
