Classic application windows appear white or black when using the Universal Access Zoom feature. The entire display may be affected if the Classic window is covering it.

Products Affected

Mac OS X 10.2

Symptom
  • Classic application windows appear white or black when using the Universal Access Zoom feature (if white on black is used).
  • If Classic environment windows occupy the majority of the display screen, and are not overlaid by Aqua windows, you may see a white or black screen when Zoom is turned on.


Solution

You may reduce this cosmetic symptom by minimizing or hiding any Classic application window before using Zoom.

Alternatively, you may:
  • Zoom out completely (press and hold the Option-Command-minus key combination).
  • Disable Zoom using the Universal Access preference pane, or by pressing Option-Command-*.
