after a few minutes of browsing threadless with my display inverted, i have discovered that the following designs have some tasty colors:

upso on Jan 20 '08 at 8:23pm

I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD DO THIS

iDanSimpson on Jan 20 '08 at 8:25pm

next question, stubby...

how'd you get screenshots of that? mine'll take the screenshot, but it looks normal when i preview the shot.

ObnoxiousMute on Jan 20 '08 at 8:25pm

i now have to visit every site i have bookmarked with the colors inverted... this is awesome!

DaniellesGarden on Jan 20 '08 at 8:26pm

lol..

my fun thing to do is to hold shift and minimize a window.. so pointless..

amaliaslash on Jan 20 '08 at 8:26pm

Haha....he inverted them in photoshop, duh.

Puma7 on Jan 20 '08 at 8:26pm

You can invert the screenshot using a program like Paint on a PC (but the mac version). For Paint, just paste the screenshot into paint and press Ctrl+I.

amaliaslash on Jan 20 '08 at 8:27pm

And Brian is right, flurry looks amazing inverted...like starburst swirls.

mezo on Jan 20 '08 at 8:27pm

THIS IS NEW INFORMATION!

stubbythumbs on Jan 20 '08 at 8:27pm

ctrl+alt+command+

stubby43 on Jan 20 '08 at 8:28pm

The design looks better in its orrignal colour but the photo is amazing.

mezo on Jan 20 '08 at 8:28pm

Dude! Typing white letters on a black screen is....

well.....

it's the new black!

amaliaslash on Jan 20 '08 at 8:28pm

And to take a screenshot of the whole screen, do command + shift + 3.

To do a screenshot of a selection (it gives you a crosshair), you do command + shift +4.

mezo on Jan 20 '08 at 8:29pm

WARNING!

INVERTING BACK STINGS THE RODS & CONES!

mezo on Jan 20 '08 at 8:30pm

WHOAH! I didn't know you could screen shot a particular selection!

Rad to the ical!

stubbythumbs on Jan 20 '08 at 8:31pm

shite! that last post should have read:

to increase or decrease contrast:

ctrl+alt+command+(left carrot)

ctrl+alt+command+(right carrot)

stubbythumbs on Jan 20 '08 at 8:36pm

also, to zoom in and out (if you have it activated in system preferences, universal access):

option+command+(+/-)

lajlaj on Jan 20 '08 at 9:31pm

oh my gosh. that is way fun!

Sir_Minimus on Jan 20 '08 at 10:18pm

tight.

speedyjvw on Jan 20 '08 at 10:23pm

if you ctrl and scroll on your mouse that also zooms

cassiepaige on Jan 20 '08 at 10:24pm

Oh man, I inverted and then looked at the pictures. And I couldn't figure out the big deal because they stayed the same. Then I figured it out :D

funkie fresh on Jan 20 '08 at 10:27pm

smitten kitten on Jan 20 '08 at 10:27pm

Ian Leino on Mar 03 '08 at 4:46pm

Whoa, my eyes just exploded. Thanks for the cool mac nerd keystroke tips.

SwissAK on Mar 03 '08 at 4:49pm

A bit useless to me... but i like it.

J-Ray on Mar 03 '08 at 5:01pm

I like leaving the invert setting on when I leave the computer.

sonmi on Mar 03 '08 at 5:05pm

oh man, i like the rainbows one a lot more that color

angelito on Mar 03 '08 at 5:06pm

this is freaking me out man.

Steve The Great on Mar 03 '08 at 5:29pm

browsing through threadless.com/all I found these guys to be interesting

amaliaslash on Mar 03 '08 at 5:34pm

Oooh, I want Folk Rock & Roll in those colors.

sugarless on Mar 03 '08 at 5:39pm

danielle's thing of holding shift and then minimizing a window blew my mind. I already knew about the color thing. Also, hold down ctrl, and scroll on the mouse pad.
