Click for info using AJAX

There's just one problem with my Ajax. I can only use it to send or receive data ONCE.. :'( so you can only click once, which sucks Okay so that was easy to solve. ALWAYS THROW AN AJAX.OPEN() BEFORE YOU ASSIGN A FUNCTION TO HANDLE THE RECEIVED DATA

Change the background colour

Ever wondered if you could get rid of the boring gray colour behind your canvas in photoshop? Of course you can! Ever since PS 4 you're able to change the background-colour:

1. Select your paint bucket tool
2. Pick a nice foreground colour
3. SHIFT+Click on the background to change it's colour.

Oh, and this might be useful.. At least it is to me!

Hide the toolbar, layer palette and all other windows

Ever tried pressing TAB? It hides all the windows.. They always get in my way when I'm messing around in photoshop.
