Mac Forum / General / General / August 2006G4 seems to have 'gone negative'
I don't know whether this is something my young son has done but I got hom last night to find OSX (4.4.6) on a G4 behaving very oddly. The only way I can put it is that it seems to have gone negative: the all whit backgorunds have become black, the pale blue background has become a sort of khaki/yellow, the reds green etc. Even mor eodd is that it just affects my account (which was the only one). I created a new acocunt and the G4 behaves perfectly normally. I've looked around at differernt setting setc but I can't see how this could have happened or how to put it right. Any suggestions?

You probably have "White on Black" instead of "Black on White". Your son must have pressed Cmd-Option-Ctrl-8 Thanks for the solution. which solved the problem. My one last question is why has Apple made such a facility availaible.

The negative display is actually easier for some people with vision problems to deal with. > Thanks for the solution. which solved the problem. My one last question > is why has Apple made such a facility availaible. I use it quite a lot, personally. Very useful when the eyes get tired from reading black text on a large white page. Remember, on a computer, unlike on a book, white is BRIGHT. The computer is shining a light in your eyes the whole time you're reading. m. > >> I don't know whether this is something my young son has done but I got > >> hom last night to find OSX (4.4.6) on a G4 behaving very oddly.
