[QUOTE="strayduck, post: 947871, member: 115231"] The default Mac set up uses a lot of bright, light colours. This can play havoc with my eyes after a couple of hours. I've tried a number of things, such as turning the screen brightness down, taking regular breaks, etc. I tried to change the desktop theme for a darker one using Magnifique but that didn't work properly for some reason and the default Mac colours came back after restart. I've noticed that inverting the screen colours through System Preferences (and by using ctrl-alt-cmd-8) is brilliant - text is much easier to read with white on black rather than black on white. Only problem with this method, of course, is that ALL colours are inverted - including icons and pictures. Is there a way of inverting the Mac desktop colours without affecting graphics and photos?
