| Appearance The appearance tab provides significant control for Windows users looking for large text, high contrast or other accessibility fixes. In this tab you can choose from a large number of predefined schemes as well as changing the size and color of many windows features individually. The top portion of the panel consists of a mock-display (preview) showing the way in which Windows will appear if the changes are applied. The first actual option on this tab is the pull-down menu labeled "schemes. There are many, many schemes to choose from, but let's focus on a few that are particularly useful from an accessibility perspective. First, you will notice near the top of the list several different high contrast color schemes, all available in normal, large and extra-large size. Also, if you need large font and buttons but prefer the standard Windows colors, you will find a set of schemes at the bottom of the list called Windows Standard in normal, large and extra-large. Once you have chosen abase scheme(or opted to continue using the current one, you can tweak each individual feature of the windows display using the controls below the "schemes" menu. Immediately below the "schemes" drop-down menu is another menu labeled "item. In this menu you will find all of the customizable appearance features of the windows desktop. If you select an item, you will notice that some of the other menus and options will become available. These are the individual features that can be modified for each desktop item Size, color, color 2, font, font size, font color and bold/italic. Each of these features can be modified through a drop-down menu, by typing in anew value, or by clicking on the color box to open the Windows color picker. Changes will be reflected as you make them in the preview window at the top of the panel and can always be reverted to the original settings by clicking the "cancel" button. You can tweak the items as much as you want, and when you are content with them, simply click the "apply" button. If you are particularly fond of the scheme you have created, or if you want to keep this scheme available but switchback and forthwith one or more others, you can save your work by clicking the "save as" button immediately next to the "schemes" pull-down menu. You will be prompted to give your new scheme a name and then, after you have saved it, it will appear in the "schemes" pull-down menu alongside all the predefined ones. If you ever feel that you've gotten in over your head in the Appearance tab, remember that you can always call up the "Windows Standard" scheme to get out of trouble. Download 1.89 Mb.
