There are students at the school I work at who are dyslexic, and have the specific strand of dyslexia which doesn't deal well with black text on a white background. One way you overcome this with print is you put a coloured film over the text you're reading - and it really amazing how it improves their comprehension and their fluency (you can see an example of the overlay ). I'm looking for a way to 'tint' the screen with software in the same manner on the mac. There is a, and a, but I'm looking for a free, cheap or built in way to achieve the same result. I've googled, and found a couple but no solution. Are any of you aware of any software or system preferences I can use to either: • tint the whole screen a colour (ideal) • change the background colour of windows / documents to one similar to the tint (better than nothing) • achieve a comparable result. If you have dyslexia and have found a workaround for this challenge I'd be really grateful for your input as well! Make green screen: Click Chroma Key. Use eyedropper tool to pick up your background color. Use eyedropper tool to pick up your background color. Then you'll get what you want. I thought that this would be achievable with the color setting in System Preferences but I don't think it allows the tinting sense. I might be wrong though. Thanks for your help! I have been looking for the same thing. So far the only solution I have been able to come up with is only applicable in Word. If you go to Format and Background you can change the colour of the 'paper'. This setting does not apply during printing so you won't accidentally waste all your ink. I know I have the ability to get software free through my university, though I don't know if it serves this function — have you contacted the suppliers to see if they will offer your school free/discount services? How do i turn on class tracking in quickbooks for mac. Maybe you could contact the British Dyslexia association about this sort of thing.
