honestly it's not hard at all. just be careful and don't put too much pressure on the screen.

i was thinking about using red also, but i thought it may look too pink since i left the white piece in.

Really, I doubt it... a white sheet can't exactly "tint" the red is at the top, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I always thought that having it like that wouldn't do anything.

yeah it would probably work fine. i may try it one day, who knows. i'd prefer the blue though probably anyways.

What I did to mine is remove that white sheet underneath. Makes the Apple logo MUCH brighter instead of diffusing it which is what that does. I thought about doing the vintage logo, but Im far too lazy for that at the moment. Looks good though Stevo, I thought you slapped a Fruit Roll Up on there for a minute though :laugh:

The vintage logo is done with one of the old stickers that used to come with Macs before they switched to the monochrome logo.

looks great! i wasnt sure how a blue light would look, but it actually really works well with the Aqua theme in Mac OS X.

A few other readers were commenting on haveing different coloured lights in their *books. i know a site ( here ) which has pictures of many different Mac customisations. a pretty nice site :p

a more direct URL is here

      They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
