Founded it by Googling with debian awe32.
find what you want already exists.
That's possible, although I doubt it. I have not been very happy with the
default highcontrast schemes Windows or Macintosh (OS X) offers. The
contrasts are actually too high, so that it is straining to my eyes in
general (I prefer off-whites and cyan).
Also, another thing that high contrast authors tend to forget is contrast
between background elements. In all of the highcontrast schemes I've seen so
far, the contrast between dialog and field (window) colors is minimal. My
goal is to make a theme in which all widgets and elements are clearly
distinguishable. That is there's a clear contrast between dialog and field
backgrounds but the dialog is still light enough to provide good text
against black background. I'll go a step further in Gnome, and make dialogs
light cyan and fields dark blue. I'm going to "paint" buttons black to make
them stand out as well, another thing that is not possible in windows (Paint
it black, hehe).
By modifying the field colors, I get a nice light on dark effect in larger
text fields, such as basic editors. I used to like Edit in the DOs days
<insert evil Linux laughter>, and use a bit similar white on blue color
scheme in Windows editors as well. Speaking of evil, my Windows screen
reader reads eval and evil the same way. So I thought Perl actually has an
evil statement.
customize an existing theme to get what you want.
That's certainly easier, agreedd. I did my first CSs with that method, using
an existing page as a template.
use dpkg --status to make sure the gnome-accessibility-themes got
installed.
THX.
manages the look and behavior of your windows.
If I want to change the color of the title bars, does that mean I need to
make a separate window manager theme in stead of hacking a Gnome theme? I
think I'll stick to metacity, because of accessibility.
Hope this helps.
It does.
