I know Windows' accessibility features allow a white-on-black theme where everything is white text and outlines only on a mostly black screen....does OS X have this?

Is your condition perhaps alleviated by special glasses/lenses that could block out enough light that you could use a computer normally, or do you already have such a thing? Perhaps a glare shield or something over the LCD itself to darken it?

Not meaning to offend, just trying to offer suggestions in case the situation with Unsanity can't be resolved.

yes OS X does have this feature, its under system prefs > Universal Access

or as i stated in my first post:

command + option + control + 8

will also toggle it back and forth

yeah, use control-option-command-8 :eek: :D


Good bye white! Hello darkness!

Man this whole thread could have been killed if this dude listened to PlaceofDis right off the bat. Hurray for superfluous posts!
 
It may sound stupid but... can you just wear sunglasses while you work at a computer?

And everyone, cool down... this guy is angry for a right reason but got angrier for a wrong wrong, meaning you people ticked him off. Calm down!

Actually you should try this, a colleague of mine dislikes the glare from his computer and puts on a special shade everytime he switch on his computer.

It would seem that you're in the wrong business. I'm assuming as with most customer service people, that you get paid to help people, not to avoid helping them. I know it's more difficult to help someone when they're yelling at you (and you can't get true yelling in an e-mail) but you still need to do the job for which you're paid.

You are correct, in customer service, you get paid to help people. I work at a helpdesk where we answer roughly 200 telephone calls and 300 emails per day spread amongst 3 or 4 people depending on schedules. Is there requests that fall through the cracks? Yes. Clearly. Is it my fault that if someone is kind to me I am more prone to follow their request through the various stages (Open ticket -> Assign to Workstation -> Verify Repir -> Close) as opposed to when someone is rude just opening a ticket and assuming the workstation tech did their job? Can you really fault me for that?

I don't really work in a technical job. I'm a technical person, but I wouldn't have to be to do my job. But when we get emails that are like (these are made up, but believe me, not far from the truth) "GET OVER HERE AND FIX MY MOUSE NOW" or "THIS IS THIRD EMAIL I NEED ACCESS TO \\server\file? HOW STUPID ARE YOU? HOW MANY TIMES DO I GOTTA ASK YOU" I'm not really going to give it my all ensuring that customer is satisified. Yes, it may be wrong, but thats human nature.

I've found a happy medium, dealing with other people; forceful, but understanding. I recently had to deal with my phone company. I live a few blocks from a 1KW AM radio station, and suddenly was getting this station loud and clear on my phone. Their guys came out, and said it was caused by my 5.4 GHz (Digital Spread Spectrum) cordless phone. Not only couldn't he fix it, but I was charged a $29 fee for their "technical services". Two calls later, I was speaking with the head of installation and repair, and needless to say my next two months of phone service are on the company. I wasn't rude, I wasn't upset. I told them what was wrong (needed a DC block) and I told them if they weren't willing to oblige the other phone company would be more than happy to.

Anyway, enough.

Haha, haven't heard that one for a long time :D

Uhh, here's a long shot, but I don't suppose you'd be willing to call them up in the US, would you? :rolleyes:

You could try faxing them

Just remember to be civil with them. I used to work as telephone tech support for an ISP in the states, and people that came off with an attitude or screamed at me were sent right to the dial-tone. I was more than willing to help them if they spoke to me adult-like (or even firmly) but insults and such don't fly with me- no matter if I'm getting paid or not. (We used to transfer people to the MacDonald's down the street, or to AOL :D )

Good luck, I hope this gets worked out to your satisfaction
 
DVD Jon???

Oh, for craps sake, just get a pirated version. You already paid for it and it didnt work, so getting a little piraty shouldnt put any dirt on your concience.

Even DVD Jon doesn't recommend pirated software, he only wanted to decrypt it so that he could use it as he saw fit - afterall, he did acquire it legally.

Please, no encouraging pirating here, there are enough pirates out there already!
 
Well too all those who say "oh if he cant handle the brightness..." come on people... I myself have an eye correlation problem so I cant play games, ask anyone whos ever played Q3 or in the old days Duke Nukem with me, after a few minutes I have to leave because I will throw up... Also I do welding alot so when I get back to my screen I start flooding my eyes with visine... it helps somewhat.

As for this guys problem with unsanity, I like their products, Ive never had a problem with the company. Maybe your emails are not going through for some reason? They have a phone number and I believe fax, maybe call or fax them?
 
Why don't you just go back to version 1 until you get it sorted out? Is there any reason that you *need* to have the latest version right now?
