This is a big no-no for low-vision users as well as for people with aging eyes. Typically, many low-vision users are extremely sensitive to white on screen. We tend to set our desktops to have a black background with white font. As my vision continues to deteriorate, I am having more difficulty with each openSUSE release to be able to see the screen and select my options. While I know there is a text-based install, even the default for YaST-ncurses is not a low-vision friendly color and requires you to edit a file to change the default color options. (I've never tried this during actual install, only during normal installed usage of openSUSE.) That is simply not an optimal solution for low-vision users, especially new users who may not have experience in how to configure in the background. Please devise a plan to provide alternative visual options for users. Perhaps a toggle-button that automatically inverts the colors of the install dialogues or alternative graphics screen that provides a darker background. This is not a protest statement, but a factual one... with my continued declining vision, if this is not fixed by 12.3, it is quite possible that I will no longer be able to install and use openSUSE.
