Re: apple logo color change.
Very nice. May I suggest that you post your tutorial somewhere and ask Accelerate Your Mac to link to it? I'm sure that others would be interested.

Re: apple logo color change.
Sorry, how to do this used to be clearer. Write to news@xlr8yourmac.com with "accelerate_comments" as the subject line (I found this email link near the bottom of this page.

Yes. But some people don't care.

Re: apple logo color change.
My only question is what did you use for the color? I ended up getting swatches from Rosco and using them :-P. They worked pretty damn well, but I'm always interested in trying different materials.

Re: apple logo color change.
As far as cracking the screen goes, with most of the iBooks out there, the warranty is long gone.
Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Re: apple logo color change.
I did the same thing to my pismo. The warranty was way out of date.
I love seeing and reading about modded laptops.

Re: apple logo color change.
a real girls computer here.. www.muahs.com/apple.html
to change the look simply take the 4 hex screws off carefully <--
pry it apart and insert a color.
what i used is- i went to a office store and bought a clear color folder -it was 99 cents.cut it in a square and clear taped it secure. Just a cheap solution for a pink apple.

Re: apple logo color change.
Do you think it's possible to make a logo that changes color? Or maybe put something glow-in-the-dark in there? Maybe even a thin lcd?

Re: apple logo color change.
really hard, but maybe with fiber optics and mini-LEDs...There isn't a whole lot of space back there as the way I understand it, the Apple logo is a piece of plastic that backs up onto an open area of the LCD back light diffuser thingy.

Re: apple logo color change.
that's a nice mod, I always thought I would like a retro multi colored Apple logo, but I'm not a modder so it's just a fantasy
