In <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/30/change-launchpad-background-mac-os-x/">previous</a> Mac OS X versions, Command+B would switch between the background effect styles, but this is now achieved with <strong>Control+Option+Command+B</strong>. </p> <p>Try it yourself by opening Launchpad and then hitting the Control+Option+Command+B keys to alternate between backgrounds with blur, unblurred, black and white, and blurred black and white. You can see samples of these background style effects below.</p> <p><span id="more-26887"></span> Without a blurred background: <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/launchpad-without-blur.jpg" alt="Launchpad without Blur" title="launchpad-without-blur" width="620" height="349" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26891" /></p> <p>Black and white with blur background: <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/launchpad-bw-blur.jpg" alt="Launchpad with blur black and white background" title="launchpad-bw-blur" width="620" height="349" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26892" /></p> <p>Black and white without blur: <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/launchpad-black-and-white.jpg" alt="Launchpad black and white no blur" title="launchpad-black-and-white" width="620" height="349" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26893" /></p> <p>Using the unblurred color background makes Launchpad on the Mac closely resemble Springboard on an iOS device.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_8pmj_-67Lj7SdxGzaSfo4sAnQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_8pmj_-67Lj7SdxGzaSfo4sAnQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_8pmj_-67Lj7SdxGzaSfo4sAnQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/H_8pmj_-67Lj7SdxGzaSfo4sAnQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UqBL3GkbvXw:yhEd63EjjUg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/UqBL3GkbvXw" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
