Is there a way to adjust colors in ncurses-YaST to make it accessible for low-vision users? Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks Thomas! This gave me an idea of what the basic options are, without actually going into custom color designs (a bit spooky to the uninitiated). Unfortunately, I've tried a few of these options listed and none worked well with user having a high-contrast desktop theme. Perhaps we can add one more default mode for high-contrast? the mono theme displayed a bright white background (often a no-no for low-vision users) and the rxvt theme which claims to be black-yellow-red displays black as a bright grey. I'd like to work with you guys to test out a couple of new theme options that might make ncurses-yast more accessible. How can we approach this? Bryen

You can send me your suggestions and I will try to create a high-contrast colour theme. Maybe we can use an existing theme as a basis and you tell me what to improve, e.g. mono theme with a grey background.
