I´ve been thinking about how to do this and it occurred to me, the gnome
terminal supports alpha transparency, could an application be written to
start in full screened mode and all it is is a translucent colour?

Thatś how a very simple and basic work around might work, however many
of these programs tint parts of applications without tinting the rest of
an application or not touching the desktop. It could be that a
customizable dyslexic friendly theme could be created, unfortunately I
am not a good enough programmer to experiment with either options, but
am still seriously thinking about how to implement something which could
make a great deal of peoples life on linux easier.

Its also worth noting that in the UK the government spends money to give
people who suffer from dyslexia computers which have this software
installed, we may be able to capture a niche market if we have such
software installed and configurable by default.
