Getting around light-colored text that should appear in front of a background color is easy, but what about background images? You know, like graphic headers and such… I think most browsers have Print Background unchecked by default, which means probably an enormous percentage of users never see our background colors or images. We all know we should be doing it, but how many of us really go through our projects, page-by-page, clicking Print Preview? Well, I know I hadn’t really done much at all.Īnd so it is no wonder I had not come across the issue with background images before.
Look for where it says “High contrast mode” and uncheck that option.A client recently brought to my attention an issue that I always said I was going to look into more closely, but somehow just never really got around to it: print CSS.
Click the picture in the bottom right-hand corner of your Chromebook screen. To fix this issue, all you have to do to is: Help! Fix My Chromebook… My Screen Looks Like a Negative Image! Whether it was accidental or intentional, somehow one of your students got into the Chromebook settings and enabled something called “High contrast display.” While this accessibility setting is probably very helpful for some people with vision problems or perhaps someone using their Chromebook in the dark, it’s not the setting that you want to have enabled just for the sake of it (even if this is exactly what your students want.) It’s definitely frustrating, but actually really easy to fix! And the worst part is, once they’ve somehow managed to enable this setting it seems to sync to every Chromebook that they logon to. Of course students think this is the coolest thing, but it does really make it difficult for them to be able to complete their work. I can only imagine the look on your face when you first opened up the Chromebook and it looked like this negative image from back when we used to have film.
