Once and For All...
Authored by: mustang_dvs on Dec 06, '02 12:10:23AM

To get inverted Colors: press [CMD]-[OPT]-[CTRL]-8, then, using the Monitors menu extra or Preference Pane, select Thousands or Millions and Voila! inverted Aqua colors.

This works in OS X 10.2.2 and any other copy of OS X with the "Universal Access" preference pane.

By enabling this, text is much harder to read and windows are generally more difficult to discern. But it looks cool, and that, apparently is all that matters, right Bullwinkle?

BTW, this is something that has been a "feature" of the OS since way back when System 7 introduced color.

FYI, OSX 10.1.5 has the "Universal Access" preference pane and pressing [CMD]-[OPT]-[CTRL]-8 and switching from thousands to millions of colors (or the other way around) does absolutely nothing! Doing the "defaults write" trick does work after about 2 logins (sometimes just one).
