    Previous models of the ThinkPad had red/blue accents on the trackpoint buttons. Examples:

    I really like this look. I have the new ThinkPad T61 and it looks like this:

    How would I go about adding these accents onto the T61? I would really like it to be straight and very high quality.

    Thanks. :)

    they're really just stickers....so if you could find some red and blue stickers in the right shade....you should be able to just stick them on.

    Red fluorescent tape or ink. Harder would be red LED lighting, but would look HOT at night.

    Alright. Awesome guys, I'll try and find some good stickers. This way if i decide I don't like it, I can just remove it easily. Thanks again. :)
