ALTERNATE COLOR SCHEME TRICK FOR MACS

Hey guys.
Just found a little built in "trick" that is kinda cool. Press Control, Option, Command and 8 at the same time on your keyboard. The color scheme of your monitor will go into negative color - all colors are reversed here - whites are now black, etc. The colors will stay in this mode until you press the buttons again. I've been told this works on all Macs but I cannot guarantee this. It does work on the G5 I'm currently using though. This may be old news to older Mac users, but I'm sure some newer Mac people including myself (until 10 minutes ago) did not or do not know about this. Try it out and let me know what you guys think.
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks for the info. There's a few other interesting things under Universal Access as well. I would think the majority of newer Mac users have no idea about these things...Good to know.

  • ALTERNATE COLOR SCHEME TRICK FOR MAC'S

    Hey all.
    Just want to share a quick little trick I just found on my computer...Press Control, Option, Command (Apple button) and 8 on your keyboard. This will switch the color scheme on your monitor to negative color - all colors are now reversed - whites are black, etc. The color will stay this way until you press the buttons again. I have been told that this works on all Macs but I can only say that I've tried it on the G5 I am currently using. This may be old news to most Mac people but newer users (including myself until recently) probably do not know about this. Try it out people. It's worth a look.
    Peace
    Andrew

    Yeah, it works on all macs...
    Another is if you press command, option, and hit the plus sign, you will zoom in on you're display, to zoom out, you hit command option minus... It's all built into OS X as universal access features

  • Color Scheme Change for Webbrowser (Opera) hard to see.

    Using kde 4.5.
    Plumbum Tones color scheme.
    Hard to see the adress bar in Opera, google search bar, and hard to see the light grey that I am currently typing in. Is there a way to change the color scheme only for opera, the color scheme looks good on everything else (pidgin, dolphin).

    Yup.  That is about all one can do.

  • Paintbrush and paint bucket use wrong color in PE6 for Mac

    Hi.  I am trying to use either the paintbrush or paint bucket tool to add a solid color in a layer.  I choose a foreground color and apply the tool and instead of using the color I've chosen, it uses an old color I used several photos ago.  (I chose the old color with the eyedropper tool in case that matters).  No matter what I do, it seems that this old color is stuck in both the paintbrush and paint bucket.  I've tried choosing a different color with the eyedropper, and although that color appears as the foreground color, the old "bad" color still applies when I use either the paintbrush or bucket tool.  I have reset the tools (no luck), rebooted photoshop (no luck), tried switching back to the default (B&W) colors (still no luck).  Does anyone have any suggestion what I can try?  I'm new to the forum and have tried searching for this issue, but can't find it.  I apologize if this is an old issue.  Thank you for your help.

    Hi, thank you for this suggestion.  I will try it, and it also sounds useful for lots of quirky things.  In the meantime, I tried something else that solved my problem. I reset the eyedropper tool and picked another color with it and it cleared it out.  I had reset all the tools, but somehow it didn't work until I did this.  Thank you for your help.

  • Tried all Mike M's Install Flash tricks for Mac and still no luck?

    I admit, I am a neophyte with computers...but I can follow a script. I have tried to install Adobe Flash on Macbook Pro Osx 10.8.5 over the course of the last 5 days. I have attempted with Safari and Firefox. Now that i did the un-install, I have NO Flash whatsoever.
    I am currently living in China, with no Geek Squad handy. I am ready to poke my eyes out with burning chopsticks.
    I recognize that I could pay Adobe $175 for help, but that seems a little steep on my salary. Is there an alternative? Is there an alternative for my beloved Flash?
    Thanks, Coronaradiata

    MIke M (a different kind of Magic Mike) you are the best!
    It took me another 5 hours, and I have no idea what mach_kernel was/is, but clearly I had disposed of it. After following your steps to a "t,"including adding "secrets," using time machine, etc. Well, because of your expertise, I was able to install Flash player.
    You saved my professional life and my eyes, as the burning chopsticks have been blown out...
    In all sincerity, I promise to "pay it forward" in your honor, CR

  • Simple Question Alternate color for Interactive form

    I can easily change the alternate color in rows for tabular but not interactive,
    can someone show me how.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi,
    At the moment, I don't think that's possible - see: Interactive report template
    You can get the alternating colours when the page is first loaded (the above link has an example of doing that), but when you use the pagination functionality, the colours are lost.

  • Color Scheme Help!

    Looking for color scheme suggestions for a web site that
    deals with Historic Preservation and Education. It's for a City, so
    nothing too flashy.
    Any suggestions would help!

    hmmm... do you have an identity already? logo, etc? maybe
    some color in there could serve as the base?
    also, how about thinking about this from a historical
    perspective.... every period has a "color history" – popular
    colors used during that era... what were the colors used in that
    time period in your region? have you visited some of the
    buildings/homes that are protected in that city's preservation
    society? what are the common colors in them? take photos and use
    them as base colors for kuler themes, creating triads and compund
    themse around them.

  • Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

    Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme.  I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use. 
    The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better.    My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.    

    I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
    I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

  • Need Dreamweaver code coloring scheme installation instructions (for Creative Cloud CS6)

    Need Dreamweaver code coloring scheme installation instructions (for Creative Cloud CS6)
    I'm on a mac os x 10.7.4

    Might check to see if you have an older version of Acrobat X installed previously under
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers
    If you have an uninstaller for Acrobat X try uninstalling it then installing again like you did through Creative Cloud.

  • Can't access Color Management options for HP 6700 under Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

    Hello.
    I've got the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One and I can't find any way to access Color Management options.
    The printer is attached (Wi-Fi) to my iMac running Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
    I want to correct a magenta cast to photographs that I've printed.  I've had the magenta-cast problem under Lightroom and using Preview to print the photographs, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.
    Photoshop Elements recommends that I "disable color management in the printer preferences dialog".
    However, I'm not able to find color management preferences for the 6700 in any of the settings under Mountain Lion:
    Not under (Apple) > System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    Not under (HP Utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.
    Not under (HP Utility) > Printer Settings.
    Not under Preview's print dialog.
    Nor can I find any clear direction in the online help (at HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Michael
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Please note that in the Print dialog I get "Color Matching" not "Color Management."
    Still, I am (at this point) able to control color from Photoshop Elements, so that's good enough to proceed.
    Thanks again.

  • Word 2011 for Mac - problems with font color

    After reading others' problems with Word, I feel lucky I've got only this small one: I can't change the color of fonts! When I click the arrow next to the Colored A, I get a blank menu! I've found a few others with this problem on the web, but no clear, simple solutions. Anybody got one? I'd really appreciate it!

    Louise,
    I'd recommend visiting the Office for Mac Product Forums for MS Office questions.

  • Motif L&F: support for color schemes?

    I want to use the Motif L&F in my Java application, but I want the color scheme to be chosen as per the users installed Color theme(using the CDE Style Manager).
    Having a default bluish grey UI does not blend well with my 'Desert' or 'Delphinium' color theme... how can I achieve this in my java app with minimal code?
    Thanks

    Doesnt look like Sun provided support for Themes in
    Motif L&F...
    I tried the SwingSet demo on Solaris, and when Motif
    L&F is chosen, the Theme drop down gets disabled...Got Mantis? The GTK L&F in 1.4.2 supports themes. Otherwise, you might be able to do what you want by subclassing MotifLookAndFeel--just that class, I mean, not the whole L&F. You would actually be creating a new L&F that uses all of the Motif UI delegate classes, but replacing its color scheme with your own. I've never tried it, so it might not be that simple--and if it takes any more effort than that, it's not worth it. Not with the GTK L&F already out there, and the Synth L&F coming in 1.5.
    and, as an aside, the SwingSet font in the 'view
    source' pane is extremely small and unreadable on
    Solaris... looks like sloppy workmanship!
    It's the same on Windows. I believe it's due to a known bug that causes the HTML renderer to make Swing's already-too-small fonts, even smaller.

  • Applet colors for Mac and Linux?!

    I've got an applet where I use Color(int, int, int) to set background colors of components. Running the applet on Windows in Netscape or Explorer gives the expected colors. But in Mac and Linux the backgrounds are only white (using Netscape or Explorer).
    Does anybody know why, and how I could set colors to be shown also for Mac and Linux?
    /Johan

    I doesn't seem to help using predefined colors, like 'red', 'blue', etc...
