Mac Question
    #7601198 - 11/06/07 12:50 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I use an old titanium G4, and when I came home just now it seems that the color control on my computer has gone whacky. It's like everything is in negative.. and I can't figure out how it got this way..

I'm guessing my cats got real lucky walking across the keyboard... now I can't figure out how to get all the colors back..

anyone ever had this problem? or know where the complete color controls for an old G4 laptop would be.. running the last version of OSX, not jaguar..

thanks,

yos-

I have seen this before, and I can't remember the keystroke needed to get out of the mode. It almost looks like a negative image, only black and white (mostly). You might be able to reset nvram to get away from it. Turn on the computer and hold down cmd-opt-O-F keys ("ooh", not zero) before the apple tone. Keep holding them for ten seconds or so. A white console should open up. At the prompt type "reset-all" hit enter, type "reset-nvram" hit enter, and let it reboot (no quotes in the commands).

If that doesn't work, the key combo, from what I remember, was a function key along with something else (shift, ctrl, etc?). It has been too long, and I only saw it once. If you still can't find it, google, and include wording towards poor eyesight in your search terms, as I think the mode has something to do with accessibility for people with bad vision.

Nice.. I really wasn't expecting a response..

Thank you very much.. I'll go see what I can do. :smile:

[edit] it's under system preferences>universal access>black on white vs white on black

Welcome. I hate to admit it, but the first time I saw that, I ended up replacing a logic board and LCD (under warranty) before realizing that is was an OS issue.
