[opensuse-factory] slightly visual impaired
Having growing problems with websites with a bad layout and or incompatible color combinations I am looking at improving the visibility of my of the monitor images. Enlarging text and using bold is one of the solutions but with a bright whitish page with letters in light yellow or light blue it is me up to now not possible to improve the visibility of text and text input places. Momentarily I am working with LXQT as I found that it was easier on the eye than Plasma /KDE Before I start trying out every possibility to improve readability I would appreciate some assistance from the experts. -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20170706 Qt: 5.9.0 KDE Frameworks: 5.35.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.10.3 plasmashell 5.10.3 Kernel: 4.11.8-1-default Linux User 183145 working on a Pentium IV . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for. The first line in my ".bash.expert" is: unalias -a That disables all of those annoying aliases that put hard to read colors into output of some commands. When updating Tumbleweed, I use: zypper --terse dup Here the "--terse" removes the annoying hard to read color, and instead gives plain black and white -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

All that extra typing each time isn't necessary. Zypper colors can be turned off via /etc/zypper.conf thus: useColors = never Output of my zypper commands usually remains white on blue, same as login startup. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Several terminal emulators (e.g. Yakuake and Konsole) supports different colour schemes. If you *want* colours, but find the default colours a bit difficult to read, it might help choosing a different colour scheme.

Of course, it would *REALLY* help if some web site developers realized their "creations" look like crap and are extremely difficult to read. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

In Spain official sites have to provide another link to their web pages, with "accessible" versions. Maybe this is some European regulation, dunno. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

c-r-t by default is monochromatic and therefore has rather legible text. The real difficulty lies in small glyphs, on high-resolution displays (xterm 6x12 default bitmap font!) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Stylish is also another plugin to consider https://userstyles.org/ you can set a "global" style so all sites will look the same (this obviously works better in some places then others) but there are many styles that atleast make every website readable (but not pretty) -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

KDE actually has several accessibility features (and accessibility is one of the main development areas for this year’s Randa meetings, https://randa-meetings.ch/). If you’re still willing to give KDE a chance, I would go to the KDE system settings and: – Enlarge all font sizes. Choose a nice, easy-to-read font. – Choose a high contrast colour scheme. – Choose a high contrast icon theme. – Choose a larger mouse pointer. – Explore the various ‘zoom’ desktop effects (there are three of them). In your browser, explore the various accessibility settings. In most browsers you can override fonts, override font sizes (or set a minimum font size) and override some or all colors (e.g., you can choose to have *all* text shown as black on pale yellow with a 20 pixels DejaVu Sans fonts). Explore the the various accessibility extensions available (see Jan Ritzerfeld’s post). If you’re using one of the proprietary graphics card drivers, take a look at the the available graphics settings available (e.g., for the NVidia drivers, launch the ‘nvidia-settings’ utility). There you can change the brightness, contrast, gamma and vibrance used for *all* applications, and which might make things easier to read. You might also want to take a look at the available settings for your monitor (i.e., on your *actual*, physical monitor). -- Karl Ove Hufthammer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
