Hi - I’m just starting to use this software, and I can see it is going to be very, very useful. Many thanks to the development team.
I see that positive and negative transactions are coloured very slightly differently. I say ‘very slightly’, because like many others (8% of men) I am red/green colour-blind, so for me there is no significant difference between these colours. Is it possible for the user to change these colours? If not, would you consider a request to implement this - it would represent a real access improvement for a considerable proportion of your users.
It’s an improvement, but not much. I’d still need the option to change the green to, say, blue for the different colours to stand out properly. Could this be done via a theme?
I’ve spent some time on this now, and this is not a solution. Assistive coloring only allows you to change between different shades of the same colours. This does not solve the problem for colour-blind people, who need to change the colours completely - from red to blue, for example, or from green to yellow.
An OS-based solution would also affect all programs, and this again my not be helpful.
I can’t speak for all of OS, but Windows and macOS does allow users to change the whole color rather than just the shades.
Please don’t get me wrong as I am obviously not colorblind.
I don’t understand why color blindness should be a particular thing to a dedicated program rather than to all programs. Well, I do understand that watching a movie is a different topic.
From an effort point of view, I don’t see the necessity to have 10 different programs developing their own color blindness color scheme, rather than making use of the OS one. Turning the feature on and off is way easier than having 10 programs implementing their own color blindness schemes. Further to my understanding there’s not no such thing like a single color blindness to my understanding. there are 3 to 5 different types.
These filters change the whole colour spectrum. Can you point me to a setting where I can change one colour?
Because I’d like to change the green arrows in PP to blue ones, but if I made that change for all programs it would make photos and movies look weird, and might undermine the designs of other websites and apps.
You’re right about that. But the most common is red-green (8% of men), and yet red and green are the two colours most often selected to represent positive and negative.
