I read a comment in another hint, in which a user wanted to disable the onscreen displays in Preview, so they could lecture without the obtrusive controls.
So I cobbled two scripts together. It no doubt disables bevels on other things, too, and it is not for the faint hearted. Please back up your files before trying it!
To turn off the bevels:
do shell script "cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Slideshow.framework/Versions/A/Resources/;
mkdir backup;
mv *.tif backup/;
cd English.lproj/; cp Localizable.strings archived.Localizable.strings;
cat Localizable.strings | sed 's%<string>[^<]*</string>%<string></string>%g' > Localizable.strings2;
mv Localizable.strings2 Localizable.strings;" with administrator privilegesdo shell script "cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Slideshow.framework/Versions/A/Resources/backup/;
mv *.tif ../;
cd ..;
cd English.lproj/; mv archived.Localizable.strings Localizable.strings;" with administrator privilegesMac OS X Hints
