I've just installed 3.6 on my machine, and I'm finding with each release, the path to configuring my system to be optimal as a low-vision user is quite painful. Yes, I see new features, but the ability to get to them in order to configure them is extremely difficult and getting more difficult as my vision becomes worse.
I have no intentions of using this as a thread to bash anyone. Instead, I'd like to ask if there's been any kind of low-vision user observation tracking going on. Documenting how we use and the steps it takes us to get from point A to point B? Some instant examples of some of my challenges when I set up a new system: - By default, all apps are in white (or bright) background. Makes it a huge challenge to get to gnome-tweak-tool and see where to change an option to a more comfortable theme. (By the way, HighContrastInverse has been dropped from 3.6. Anyone know why this is?) - There seems to be no option to scale your mouse cursor to a comfortable size. This option existed in GNOME 2.x. - I'm very excited about the new features of GNOME magnification, but can't find where to configure. - Tweaking fonts is also poses challenge as in some windows, such as g-t-t or gnome-control-center. In any case, while some of my examples can obviously be filed as bugs (and I will be filing them), I think it would be useful to observe a typical low-vision user walkthrough setup and pull together common experiences that could further enhance a future release of GNOME for low-vision accessibility. Perhaps some surveys or something? Or does something already exist and I missed the boat on it?
