Thanks again to all who responded regarding the visual accessibility question. I have another question. In addition to being visually-impaired, I am also hearing-impaired. :-)
In Macintosh OSX, they have a feature for hearing impaired users where the screen lightly flickers whenever there are alerts or events, such as incoming IM, email, etc.
Is there anything similar to that for Gnome? I haven't found anything yet.
Under sound preferences in the control center you can turn on visual system bell (in the system beep section). Not sure that will go as far as you want, but it might be a start.
Well... It was a start. I enabled as per your steps, and watched... nothing happened when I had incoming messages or anything. Then I was in gnome-terminal and accidentally discovered it. I had backspaced too much and BLAM! like a photoflash in my face! Whoa! Obviously I needed a few minutes for the spots to clear before I could type this message. :-) It seems to truly be only for system beeps and nothing else. So I can't be alerted when I get instant messages and such. Oh well... guess I should file an enhancement request or something. The Accessibility app doesn't seem to cover issues related to deaf users. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
