Hi all,
Just back from the local Apple retailer. I had anticipated having a Mac
Mini under my arm at this point, so I am a little surprised (and
probably a little disappointed too) that I have returned home empty-handed.
I had gone to the store to see how the Mac would perform with a
combination of magnification and a white on black colour scheme. The
magnification worked well, but unfortunately the white on black colour
scheme was less satisfactory. I had hoped that it would be similar to
the high contrast feature on the PC, where it basically rewrites the
colours used by the operating system and software (albeit it not always
successfully). This means that on a PC I can have it so that nearly all
screen elements (desktop, toolbars, tooltips, menus, etc) are shown in
my preferred colours. However, on the Mac all that I can do is invert
all the colours that are on the screen. Apart from doing ugly things to
images and video, this is far from ideal when the screen contains both
dark on light elements and light on dark elements. This means that I
cannot simply turn on high contrast and forget about it. Instead, I
suspect I would be constantly toggling colour inversion on and off
depending upon what is on the screen at the time.
Unless I have missed something, this might make a PC a better option for
now.
Regards
David
