To all OS X users: If you want bedazzlement, try this. In System Preferences in the Accessibility field somewhere you can change the display so it displays as white on black. I at least know that you can do this in 10.4.8, which is what I have. I launched GF4 like this and was amazed. If I knew how to take screenshots, I would post one. Could someone tell me how? Anyway, if you haven't seen this, check it out. It's very interesting. This was made for dyslexic people right? I've heard that this can be easier for them to read.

Mac OS X screen-shot keys are: Cmnd+Shift+4 for a section of the screen Cmnd+Shift+4 then Space for the contents of a window Cmnd+Shift+3 for the entire screen The zoom feature is quite fun too. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

Taking screenshots in Mac OS X. EDIT: Curses! Foiled again. On the other hand, not being a Mac user, I had to look that up. ;) -------------------- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. - Steven Wright [ Tuesday, July 10, 2007 13:25: Message edited by: Dintiradan ] Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Thanks for the help! Edit: Foolish me. I wonder why I didn't think of looking it up. Thank you, though.

Is it free? Edit: Well, for one thing, I don't have an Intel. [ Tuesday, July 10, 2007 13:51: Message edited by: A Sunburned Fractal ] -------------------- "The mouth is like the city gate.

So.... What do the screenshots look like? Edit: And if the screenshots look awesome, is there anyway of doing this in windows?

quote:The incremental updates are free. When 10.5 comes out, you have to pay for that. Also, Apple is continuing to support PPC with every update, so that excuse doesn't fly. The system should have prompted you automatically when the updates were made available, but you can do it manually by clicking the Apple logo in the upper left corner and selecting 'Software Update". It really is a good idea, since these updates fix various bugs and security holes. Also, I checked out the inverted color thing. It does look pretty cool. They have the option on Windows, but it just switches black and white. THis inverts the entire screen. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

I learned the white on black trick a while back. I prefer, however, the keyboard shortcut that does the same, but keeps colour. Essentially, everything looks like a colour negative. It's rather amusing to casual walk by a computer, type Control Alt Apple 8, and watch the owner try to correct it. Sometimes, though, it only goes to white on black. Still, fun. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

All right, there's the first one. GF4 shots like this coming soon... Curse the UBB!! Why can't I link this photo? Trying again... Bah! I was afraid of this. Even if I did know how to link the photo, it doesn't show up as white on black. I wish the screenshot would retain the display formatting. Oh well. But if you do know how to do this, try launching games; I tried GF4 first in Southforge: pretty crazy, I wish I could post it.

Photoshop provides a satisfactory illustration, however. Here's about what you would see:  Edit: Changed the picture to Geneforge.

Unbound drayks! Looks like the drayks of Gesslin Freehold and in Northforge decided there was only one solution to the drakon's increasing arrogance... Edit: Dikiyoba forgot that this thread was in General and not in Geneforge. Oh well. Not much difference, sometimes.
