My three-year-old got ahold of our macbook pro and somehow changed the appearance so that the desktop and applications all look like film negatives.

I can't figure out how to change it back.

Help?

system prefs>universal access>display.
he hit the key combo to make the screen 'negative"!

btw, anybody remember oscar the grouch, and the trash can in OS9? kids were trashing their parents files just to see oscar pop up and sing.... THAT was pretty bad (and sort-of funny....)
