Q: How do I invert my screen colors?

Hi,

I just upgraded to 10.9.1 from 10.7.5. In 10.7.5, I used to be able to invert my screen colors using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Option + Command + 8. This was a great feature but strangely even after restarting multiple times I don't seem to be able to invert my screen colors using this key combination on Mavericks. Is there a different keyboard shortcut or is there some way in preferences that I can manually invert my colors?

Thanks, - Dave

A:

System Preferences->Accessibility->Display; Invert Colors

Not sure if there is a shortcut for this..

Go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts, look under the Accessibility section, you need to turn on Invert Colors by checking the box.

The keyboard shortcut is still there but is disabled by default.

Open up System Preferences and go into Keyboard on the second row. Then go into the Shortcuts tab and select Accessibility on the left. Then tick the Invert colors box. This will enable the short cut.

Go to the Accesibility menu, then keyboard, then click the keyboard preferences button. And under the quick functions tab go to accesibility and enable the shortcut as it was with the earlier version of OS. Hope it helps!
