Changing macbook colors, white to black

I think I read on the forum somewhere that you can order a replacement case, keyboard, trackpad, and bezel for the macbook for around $120. Right now i have a white 2ghz. I love the white but that matte black is sexy.
Do yo think I can order a black case for the macbook and have apple replace it for me? I would actually rather do it myself but I suppose it would void the warrantee.
Thanks,

The short answer is yes, it definitely can be done. In fact, it would probably be quite easy to do it your self. I don't know if you have any experience disassembling ibooks, but the macbooks are significantly easier to take apart, since apple designed the cases as if they were two really thin pots, and all the computer innards are inside and covered by the top case. From pictures i've seen, you basically remove some screws and everything is right under the keyboard and trackpad.
Whoops, this was supposed to be short. Let me start again.
The short answer is that it can be easily done by yourself if you are comfortable with both voiding your warranty and disassembling your macbook. Not a good combination IMO, but I know the first thing i'll be doing when my warranty expires .

    You can tell apple that you'd like it and see if they respond....eventually. (you don't get responses from your feedback mails but they have been known to issue changes that users have asked for, such as the ability to mass delete apps)

  • Change mask from white to black

    How do I change a mask from white (reveal all) to black ide all

    Hi [email protected],
    Pressing the X key just changes the toolbox color chips (reverses the foreground and background colors in the toolbox)
    Yes if you add a reveal all layer mask (white) and want to turn it black (hide all) then Cmd+I (invert) or invert in the properties panel.
    Thanks

  • How to Change the color of the black image

    Hi,
    I have created a black image. But want to insert some text and chnage the color of the same. I am trying to do it, by usign various classes of javax.imageio.*, java.awt.image. But, I have not the required output till now. I am showing my code below. The image I created is totally black.
    Any suggestion greatly appreciated.
    File f = new File("C:/tomcat5.5.15/apache-tomcat-5.5.16/webapps/plugintest/03974701.jpg");
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(f);
    int height = image.getHeight();
    int width = image.getWidth();
    int type = image.getType();
    ColorModel cm = image.getColorModel();
    System.out.println("Width of the Image is "+width);
    System.out.println("Height of the Image is "+height);
    System.out.println("type of the Image is "+type);
    BufferedImage image1 = new BufferedImage(width,height,type);
    //image1.setRGB(45,45,rgb);
    File f1 = new File("blank.jpg");
    RenderedImage ri = image1;
    ImageIO.write(ri,"jpg",f1);

    Color c = new Color(0, 0, 0);
    Graphics g = image1.getGraphics();
    g.setColor(c);Thanks for your suggestion I added these lines to the
    code(code is shown above), but the there is no change
    in the color of the jpg image saved in the file. Am I
    missing something.Yes.
    a) Do you know what color 0,0,0 is? Hint: not mauve
    b) When you call set color that sets the drawing colour. But you aren't drawing anything. You can draw things with the methods of Graphics and Graphics2D. I suggest starting with fillRect

  • Urgent HELP! how to resize a layout and change the color from black to white

    Hey!!!
    im in urgent help of someone to answer my questions. I have a huge Indesign exam monday and two of the questions are   
    -resizing a layout
    -changing a color layout to black and white
    I have done many porjects in Indesign but to be honest i don't know what they are refering but resizing a layout or changing the layout color to black and white. If any body can explain me this a little be I be so thankful!
    Thanks,
    Fiama Piccardo

    I've decided to relent a little and give you a hint, so you can do some looking and figure this out for yourself. Everything you need for either of those tasks is accessed from the File menu...
    And a further hint. Indesign does not have a black and white or grayscale working colorspace, so you never truly have a black and white layout, though all of the objects in the file may use only black ink. You can, however, output a PDF, in a couple of ways, that will convert your color file to one that uses only black.

  • How to change the color of a basic graphic texture?

    The basic graphic texture pattern is black by default. I'm looking for a way to change the color of the black lines that create the texture.
    I read How do I change the color of Basic Graphic Lines? However, I am unable to select the black pattern lines with the direct selection tool and thus unable to change the color of the lines.
    Thanks in advance.

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • Using footage from my iPhone 4, how can I remove the black bars on the sides of my picture? Or change the color to white...

    My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.

    To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1.  The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

  • Accessibility - Cant change document color to white-on-black!

    Hello,
    I have a huge document to read, and the default white background is too bright, In earlier versions of Reader, I used to enable the
    Accessibility option -> Replace Document colors , and make the document white text on black background
    But in the Adobe Reader XI, this is not working! I tried with some other color combinations, and it seemed to work
    whereas, the momemt I choose Page Background to be black, and Document Text to white, everything turns black!
    i.e, somehow the text color is also changing to black, not sure why!
    Is this a known issue, or does this have to do something with the document? or the fonts on my laptop?
    Any hints or workarounds, really appreciated.
    (I am on Windows 7 pro, SP1 (64-bit), updated to latest Reader XI)
    Loreall

    Loreall,
    The replace colors feature in Reader only changes the color of the primary page background, so if the author added a background to the document (even if the added background is white) then this might cause the issue you describe.  One thing that may help is if you enable reflow mode, as this forces extra backgrounds to disappear.  You can try this by locating the option in the view menu or by hitting Ctrl+4.
