Improve Your Mac’s Legibility in Sunlight
June 12th, 2005With a single keystroke in OSX, you can invert your laptop’s screen and turn it black-and-white. That improves the legibility of things that are hard to see in brightly-lit environments. Repeat the keystroke and you’re back to normal.
Here’s the key combination:
CTRL-ALT/OPTION-[Apple-key]-8
Bonus: now you can freak out your Mac-using friends who haven’t heard of this feature, but who let you near their keyboards.
Yeah, that was really funny.
for those with the other mac keyboards, that’s control-option-apple-8
