SOURCE: How do I turn on my green keys on my Acer Aspire One?

Not able to find a colour picture of the keyboard - But I suspect you mean the numbers that are on the following keys u,i,o,j,k,l,m
To gain access to these numbers you need to put the number lock "num lock" key on - to do that use the <FN key> together with the <F11 key> That will now change the keyboard so that numbers are displayed instead of the letters
Support site for Acer http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/service.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&miu10einu24.current.attN2B2F2EEF=3734&sp=page15e&ctx2.c2att1=17&miu10ekcond13.attN2B2F2EEF=3734&CountryISOCtxParam=UK&ctx1g.c2att92=122&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=2980211862
Select your exact model and then got the document tab, to downlaod the user manual
IF there are other keys that are green on the keyboard - let me know and i can research more
