monitor looks posterized

So my cat sat on my keyboard and he did something wierd, and I cant figure out how to undo it. My entire monitor looks like it is in negatve, or posterized- I dont even know what to call it. Everything, from the background image to the buttons, to every program opened, is not the color it should be. And when I go into appearance, it won't change anything. Or anything else I have tried.

For example, this screen looks black with white writing and dark green tabs.

Any thoughts?

Hi Jellolady,

From your user profile, I see that you have a PowerBook. This section of the forums is for PowerMacs. It's best to post in the right section just in case your issue is a special PowerBook issue.

I can fix this one for you, though. In system preferences, go into Universal Access. In there, you can toggle Black on White/White on Black to get back your appropriate settings.

You cat went and sat on exactly the right key combination to operate a short cut that does exactly this - children are good at it too. 🙂

Cheers!
