Can we close this? This bug also falls under the area of accessibility features. The default look cannot possibly hope to address the specific needs of particular disabilities or special abilities -- Ubuntu should provide a look / feel for various classes of disabilities. I am not qualified to evaluate those classes, so perhaps someone within Ubuntu with a particular class of disability might be more authoritative on the matter.
Ultimately, however, this is beyond the scope of the default theme. Once we have an appropriate 'need intensive' version of a look, it will be simple to address these issues.
