Title: 9 Pro Mac - Change app background color
Post by: gnubler on August 12, 2010, 02:18:46 PM
How? I've poked through Prefs and don't see it.

The default application bg color is a dark charcoal gray. It has to go...

I wouldn't suggest biting into the can or huffing it. I have no hair, so a quick blast on the old dome, and I am instantly refreshed.

Where do you get a coffee for 50 cents, DCS? Even gas station coffee is around a buck if you refill your own cup. I know you don't make your own coffee.

Is DCS drinking coffee on a hot day the same theory the British soldiers in India followed by drinking tea on a hot Indian day? The basis of which is that if you increase your internal body temperature, it doesn't seem as hot out and therefore, you feel cooler. The inverse of which is drinking cold beer on a cold day.

It's 50 cents out of the vending machine here though it is debatable if it's really coffee.
