Hey I started this topic now, since cordney started bragging about it on the first page and ist not filling in any content!

At first you’ll need an iBook, an 2 – USB – iBook (not “shell” iBook) – you need a parchment which is translucent in your favourite colour or at least the colour you want the apple to change into – you’ll need a Torx TX 5 (Am I right on this one?) and the guide, which is already on cordney’s disk so please be patient we will supply every information that you’ll need to change your apple! We have got some nice pictures of our very one iBooks which shine in blue and orange now!

Greets,
Norman

Thanks, Norman!

===== The coloured apple =====
One day we had the idea to customize our ibooks somehow.
That’s what it looks like now. The Apple-Logo coloured in favourite colour.
Principally it’s really simple,
you just need some time,
patience and the right tools.
costs: about 7-8 €.

What you need (purchase note):
——————————
1. screwdriver Torx Size 6 (TX 6), available in local building market

2. book cover foil or other (max. 0,5mm), available at local stationer’s

3. dexterity, unfortunately nowhere to buy

Let’s get started:
——————
First take the torx and remove the screws.

Put them aside so you can’t loose them.

Now we pull the cover very carefully off the case.
Remove the cover only with a soft pressure
on one edge after another, so the cover will be loosen.

That’s what it looks like now.

Go on with cutting a piece off the foil
fitting to the apple logo,
close the computer and lay it on
back of the display. It must not be bigger
than the logo, because it could be shining
through the white cover.

Last but not least we put the cover back to
the case and press it carefully on all sides and edges.
Remember checking if the foil fits perfect and afterwards
put the screws back into the case not that tight.

Have fun
