I can't seem to find the link that shows how to change the color of the lighted apple on the lid of the Ti Books.

Maybe because it is much harder to do than with iBook because of thinness <??>

The screen is not easy to get apart without bending it out of shape, so few people have done it. I wouldn't really recommend trying.

thanks for the advice.

more of an iBook thing i guess.

actually, the blue apple in my sig is from a ti400 that I did, where I replaced the white plastic with blue.

more of the work done there is shown at:

I don't own that powerbook, or that site. I did it for the person who owns that site. It was difficult, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else attempting it.

Never done this (and I'm not sure I would with my as yet delivered new tibook), but has anyone tried detailing the apple with light bulb paint? It's a temperature proof paint that you use to color electric bulbs. With a fine touch you could mask off the rest of the book, swab the apple with the glaze and voila! If successful you wouldn't need to go behind the screen to insert gel.

Thats how people paint their iBooks. It will work, and would look excellent if you took the screen apart and paint the INSIDE. Painting the outside and masking it will look like hell.

Look at applefritters site, and see the tron book and the other ibook.
