Inverting screen colours in Windows

[Andrew MacLean]

If you don't get it quite right, you can always pretend you were going for a 'soft focus' effect

yeh, ive had a few soft focus pictures without my contacts/glasses i cant even see down the viewfinder

btw if you go to control panel and accessability options there are a few other themes you will be able to use

[Andrew MacLean]

yes, asylumxl Aren't Macs wonderful,

I am lost in admiration for all the clever people who can cope with a Windows environment, but the Mac suits me just fine.

If it thinks I am going to do something silly, it talks to me and says, "Are you sure, Andrew?" Usually the answer is "not really".

I just like yellow on blue and sometimes I reverse it to blue on yellow. I am red/green blind (like one in four men in the UK) so some colour combinations would be pretty useless for me.

I never got much involved with photography, although I did once submit a picture that I'd taken to a sports photography competition. to my amazement it won, but a single lucky snap in 56 years is maybe not such an outstanding accomplishment!

i used to be majorly into it as a child till they put my films through a scanner at the airport lol and i lost 4 films full. digital is much better as not only do u not have the risks of exposing the film but u can see wat uve taken nearly instantaniously. i have a canon 350d at the moment, looking to buy some lenses when i have more cash.

Hi.
I have problems with windoze screens too - so I'm still on the old green-screen DOS technology!

I've tried using the accessibility options preset colour schemes - which in fact are short cuts to setting up noew windoze settings colour schemes - and have yet to find a package which doesn't have a bug somewhere so you get a completely black screen!

You can gt specialist software for people with vision disabilities that will magnify and change colour schemes, and will change what's there, rather than working through the windows settings which some, eg web pages, ignore. Lunar from DOlphin, Zoomtext and there are others.
I'd suggest you contact your nearest RNIB office and ask where you can get a demo of some of these.
Adaptive technology products are, alas! bloody expensive. But if you are using it for work, you can ask about Access To WOrk paying for it - or at least towards it.
Good luck.
