Impaired eyesight users

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We're very interested in improving the experiences of players with impaired eyesight and/or colour-blindness of the most common variants, and we want to make sure that we sucessfully implement systems that work for as many people as possible.

However, the User Interface version 2 is really very close to going live, and this substantially changes the current Illyriad User Interface - for the better.

We have, during the redesign, borne in mind the visibility of certain colour combinations as well as the red/green issues around colour-blindness (indicating these colours via other complementary mechanisms such as boldness and italicism) and we hope that the new schemes are more attuned to these criteria.

So please hold off final comment until the new User Interface is live, and - after it's in place - let us know whether things are better, and also how we can improve them further.

Regards,

SC

	Maybe just write it in white and put a little black box in the background. Seems to work for subtitles.
