Appearance in System Preferences

[Aude]

I fell in love with Macs when I saw someone using a translucent blue one on a train. I now have my own iMac at last and I can't turn on the blue! Everything is edged in 'graphite' even though I have chosen 'blue' and 'blue' is ticked/checked.

It's only a small point, and I have read the manual, but I'd be grateful for advice. My husband is an unregenerate Windows user, having sold his soul to his free work laptop, but actually it's great being an independent Mac user, with a little help ...

Thanks,
Aude

PS I have tried shutting down!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "turn on the blue"? The settings you mention change minor accent colors and the system highlight color (for when you select text, for example). It does not have a major impact otherwise.

I'd just tried shutting down again! Thanks for the quick reply.


I wanted blue edges to everything instead of grey. I must be thinking of my son's old iBook.

Are you talking about the physical color of the computer itself? Like, old Indigo iBook G3s?

You cannot change the physical color of your computer from a menu
