Ok,

I see we have some mac affictionados here so I'm gonna take this opportunity to ask some questions.

I have to use OS X 10.2 at work and there is one simple thing I want to change.

I want to make highlighted text (such as in text input boxes etc) appear as white on a dark colour (black or dark blue is good). I want to do this because I have bad colour vision and I prefer high contrast for this kind of thing.

I've looked in system preferences / colors - here I can only set the background of highlighted text. That's halfway there, but the text itself remains doggedly black and there is no option to change it.

I looked into the accessibility options and there is nothing there either apart from a global colour invert where everything becomes white on black.

This is *such* a trivial thing I want to do. How the hell do I do it?

I've been told I may have to look in sone hidden parameter list file and modify settings there to achieve this.

I find it utterly insane that they spend all this effort making a total eyecandy GUI with all its fancy effects and I can't even change text colour :crazy:
