Everything in the title ...

I often use my x61t in the dark and Laptop mode, and the Lack of think light is very disturbing for me !

The would be some phosphorescent stickers, so the letters could be seen in the dark ...

Does it exist ?

I put a tiny piece of black electrical tape across part of the top of the Thinklight to act as a hood. This keeps the light out of my eyes, but still illiminates the keyboard.

Oh, I misread the post. Sorry about the mistake...

This made me think of when I went to high school (ages ago .. when dinosaurs roamed the earth).

I recall a class in physics regarding radiation when we were given a Geiger counter to play around with and measure radioactivity.

I remember that we used the Geiger counter on a watch that had dials with glow-in-the-dark paint. The Geiger counter indicated a significant increase in radioactivity, compared to the background radiation.

I sure hope that those fluorescent keys are safe

In before the lock...

Those old watches used radium powder painted onto the watch face to achieve luminescence. It's not used anymore.

This only took one minute to find with Google:

http://www.glowing-keyboards.com/

edit: ACK!, never mind... they're "fluorescent" so they don't actually glow in the dark... the search continues.

edit2: Here's another company which makes glowing stickers for keycaps but no French layout: http://www.myglowkeys.com/ Their FAQ says that they can do custom layouts so that means extra $$$$ .

Not to change the subject, but that's an interesting story..
