Basic Accessibility Mods [High Contrast Displays Especially]
Posted 2024-06-10 03:25:20 #1214464 Hi gang! So, I have a fairly dramatic visual impairment, and as a result I use a high contrast display (as well as being INCREDIBLY zoomed in for most of the time). Wolvden honestly displays really nicely within my weird settings, especially relative to other websites, but I did still come across a couple of problems; most prominently, all progress bars were hidden for me, causing a bit of a headache especially for progress bars that didn't have a numbered label/couldn't be hovered over. As a result, I decided to dip into my incredibly amateurish coding skills, and created myself a little personal Firefox plugin that would modify the Wolvden CSS styling and make my progress bars visible! This has been extremely cool, and I'm very proud of myself for managing to do this. :D Plus I am fast discovering that life is MUCH easier when you can tell how your wolves are doing at a glance rather than having to hover over everything and/or squint at the numbers all the time. It's a wonderful world out there. Anyway! To that end, I'll be working on a couple more tweaks for myself, but I wanted to know if anyone else out there had any accessibility problems with certain elements of the Wolvden website. If so, then first of all, I think that's helpful to talk about. Second of all, I'd love to try my hand at making an accessibility plugin that would fix the issue; it's good practice for me, and lets me lean into something very near and dear to my heart (for obvious reasons). I'm also open to look into more convenience-based plugins, such as moving an element to a different part of the screen - though in that case I might ask for some SC/GC in return. And of course if anyone wants the high contrast mod, let me know and I'll happily send it your way! :D Is there anyone else who plays around with any accessibility plugins, tools, or other miscallanea? If so, drop in and share notes - I've still only just scratched the surface myself!	Kit #140915
