[Cabs-talk] low vision

[Justin Harford]

OK so apparently I am noticing now on my side that it does not save  
the pref throughout the other pages, but it does save it on the home  
page, which leads me to suppose that it would work elsewhere.  I won't  
add it to the others until I'm sure people would want it given the  
work that it will take, copying it to each one.

Sorry for the mass of emails, the last message follows so you can just  
stop reading here if you have been following this.

I wrote:

I'll just send this to the CABS list too for all you low vision  
people.  In response to a request from Tiffany Manosh, we have set up  
an option for low vision users.  Just to bring everyone up to pace,  
the cabs board voted in a new website design that should hopefully  
enhance our appearance on the internet.  It is at the regular  
location.  I would encourage you all to look at it before calling me  
on anything.

Looking forward to your input: and the message follows:

OK I really have been working on this.  So I assume that the last page  
color scheme worked well for you with its color scheme, mainly blue  
links on a white bacground.  is this right?  So if this is so, I have  
set up an alternate style for low vision.  The font size is twice as  
large, and the sidebar is now with a white background and blue links,  
like the regular style.  I hope you might try this out and give me  
your input:

You will notice that above the regular text is a table for setting the  
style.  This is only implemented so far on the home page.  if it works  
well for you I would implement it on all pages.  Nevertheless,  
changing to the low vision style will mean that you use that style in  
all the pages, and when you come back later it will be that style  
again.  This is because it uses a cookie that recognizes you and your  
pref.  So you have to have cookies enabled I would imagine.

Please try this out and give me suggestions.  at least now we have the  
ability to easily make up an alternate style for low vision users  
without much difficulty.

Regards
Justin Harford
