"White" Serato Screen (not the box)

Was a party with my friend last night in St. Petersburg, FL. We had a special guest Dj -DJ Dummy (Common's Dj)
Anyway, his Serato had a 'skin' on it. It was mostly white with black outlines.
It was alomost like white/black monocrome. When the songs were loaded up in the decks, text was orange and blue.
Is this a special setting that you can change or a 'skin'??? Just curious.
I will try to upload a picture a little later...

On a Mac, hit control-option-command 8.
Look better if you select the "Graphite" Appearance (instead of the "Blue" in System Preferences/Appearance.

As DJMark said, that's just the invert screen colors option on Macs.

if you ever have to dj outside when it's sunny, the invert option helps out a ton so you can see your screen. otherwise, you'll be squinting at your screen from 3 inches away.

Don't forget you may have to go to System Prefs>Universal Access and tick the box at the bottom that says - Enable Access for assistive devices

See the 3 dots in the Left hand corner? Means it's a Mac. Mac only thing.
there was a thread about a third party app that does something similar in WINDOWS but since I use Macs, can't remember what it was. Do a search maybe.

Does "ctrl + alt/option button + the apple logo button + number 8 key" toggle between the two modes? I'm not at my apple right now.
Konix
2:00 PM - 10 June, 2008
Yep, easy as that to change back and forth between the two.

Where I have it set up at home, there's a lot of sun so this will come in handy.

No prob! I followed the thread, it led to posted discussions (scratchlive.net), which led to a link (www.entechtaiwan.com) from where could download a trial version of Powerstrip 3.77 which supposedly can invert the Serato screen to white (inverting colors - just like Mac's do; but, of course, NOT!!! There's an option ("Write Directly to Pallette DAC") that you have to check before your colors are inverted - which just DOESN'T F**%ING CHECK!!!
So now, it's 6.30 am, AND I'M STILL CURSING @ WINDOWS!!! I've had it - I'm getting a Mac!
