The Right to Have High Contrast.

[Geek-9pm]

Can you see this:

Clearly, aesthetics are important but aren't the ultimate goal of design. And often poor readability doesn't get noticed during the design process, as we are not like our users. We don't read the texts as a visitor does.

Thousends, maybe millions of pepople have a hard time reading small lrint on a whilet backgroun. Even worse, when a web site uses any  blue font.

Those of use witgh low vision problesm are ready to revolt! We are going to stop tgrying to read any web site that does not rewspect out limitations. Constars is a lright, everyone shouyld be free to choose contrast for himself.

Demand yhour right to c ontrast!

In browsers you can override fonts and colors in most browsers, and beyond that they can also respect high contrast themes.

You can force any website to use a white background with black text, for example.

I have used the Turn off the Lights extension before when wanting to not have my monitor burning my eyes out in the dark room without having to keep playing with monitor settings to dim and then raise the brightness in games that have dark dungeons etc, but never went to forcing to white background with black text. Curious where you go to set this up in Firefox?

Additionally years ago when google had the earth day event, it was nice to have black background with white text ( inverse ) vs always looking at white background and black text as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour#/media/File:Google_earth_hour.PNG

It was a nice experience not being photon blasted for once when browsing web!

Cool thanks BC for pointing out the path to that.
