1) Take a screen cap
2) Open Photoshop
3) Ctrl + I
4) Save
5) Set as bg
6) Repeat for all pages as needed

Get a polarization lens/filter and it will invert the colors you see.

Turn the polarization filter 90 degrees. You'll most likely have to get some new material, LCDs are rarely square.

_________________ polarization filter
----------------- glass
================= Transparent electrode
----------------- mirror or backlight

Probably have to take off the current polarization filter and put a new one on. I bought a piece online a few years ago, 10 bux for a 3*5 piece. I pealed off the old one and then put the new one on and it worked like magic!

Holding one or a combo of some buttons down and getting into a hidden menu is one posibility.

There is a way to do this with the wiring that would probably be a bit difficult. It involves activating all the pixels on the screen and when it recieves input the pixles that are activated shut off.
