Screen colour has inverted (gone negative)

Jun 4th, 2006

Hi, my five year old son was on my computer this morning and somehow made the colour on my screen negative. It affects everything - all programs and the desktop, but when I log back in as another user the colour is normal. He had photoshop open, but I can't work out whether something he did in there caused it - or something he did in the system preferences.

If anyone knows how to fix this I would be grateful.

Check System Preferences - Universal Access and make sure that the "Black on White" radio button is picked, instead of "White on Black".

i certainly hope you've figured out how to fix this by now, but if not:
hold ctrl+option+apple+8 and you'll be back to normal.

Thanks for bumping a 2-month-old thread that's already been resolved.
