That last one is the single greatest thing I've learned this week!

- The zoom feature I listed earlier works great for viewing streaming videos that are small. The videos don't really get distorted from the zooming in blurred mode and the frame rates don't seem to go down by zooming into them.
I really like the black apple bar on the top, too bad you can't have that but keep the rest of the colors normal.

But you can look at the bottom OS X ShapeShifter theme on this website linked to here: http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/NYJetsFan said:
In order to run the theme you need a program called ShapeShifter which is available on this website linked to here: http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/shapeshifter

When I do that it wakes right back up again.GodBless said:- Hold the command+option+eject keys down for about 2 seconds.

-How did you learn all of that stuff?
It does? It shouldn't. Something like a flash drive (or other type of external hardware) could be causing this problem.EricNau said:When I do that it wakes right back up again.
I don't know too much. I've only been a Mac user for 3 years. I have done a lot of research but I still have a lot to learn. I am just trying to be helpful.EricNau said:
OK, for me, I have to just tap the eject key while holding Command+Option. If I hold it down it tends to start back up again. (maybe it has something to do with Bluetooth keyboards).GodBless said:
Read the manual? Help? Play around in System Preferences?EricNau said:
That's how I learned all of those.
EDIT: Double post.. sorrympw said:Find a store that sells Apple computers (not a pukka Apple Store or specialist) and do this to the display machines then ask a question and watch them squirm.

Since this is not an easter egg, but designed to help people with disabilities (better contrasts), someone who sells Macs should know what it is.
