Twenty Ten Theme

  • I am trying to add a acceptability ability to a blog for a friend who is vision impaired.

    Is there a plugin or CSS switcher that will allow the reader to switch from white to black text?

  • Have a look at some of the theme switcher plugins. Ideally, you’ll need to not only change the text colour but also increase its size and change the background colour Be careful about using a second theme with too high a contrast, though. Very high contrasts (eg #000 text on #fff background) causes pixelation of text when using a screen magnifier. Yellow or green text on a black background is often good for visually impaired users who don’t use a screen reader.

    Maybe I’m missing something but i can’t get the theme switcher to work. Are there any accessibility plugins that may accomplish this.

    Not that I’m aware of. Creating a basic stylesheet switcher plugin (as opposed to a complete theme switcher) is on my ToDo list but, so far, I’ve not even started it. I’ve been trying to figure out how the plugin could pick up extra stylesheets within a theme given that some themes do have more than default .css file. The best I’ve come up with so far is to prefix alternative sheets with alt-, so that you’d have alt-high.css and alt-low-contrast.css.

    What do you think?

    It does make sense, I think that may work if the CSS files are in specific directories, Which not all theme developers do but it may add to the switching capability.

    I was going to limit it to the theme’s root folder only. So – same level as the mandatory style.css file.
