1.1 Accessibility color settings
The Good:
- all settings can be viewed at one glance
The Bad:
- orphaned border settings
- dialog is vertically too large
- results in very large default minimum size for the whole settings window
- cut off slider buttons
- inconsistent color mode group
- busy dialog with information overload
Revised accessibility dialog
Suggested changes:
- put border settings in one separate group
- put selection of color modes in a drop down
Rationale: The HIG advise to use radio buttons only for up to three entries. For four and more entries, drop downs should be used.
The Good:
- cleaner, less busy dialog
- well grouped settings
- smaller vertical dialog size
- bottom of the dialog leaves space for more information about the selected color mode
The Bad:
- Getting an overview of available color modes is slightly harder and needs a few more steps
Initial dialog view, no changes made by user.
Drop down expanded, showing color modes
“Invert Colors mode”
“Change paper color mode”
“Change light and dark colors mode”
“Convert to black and white mode”
