| hajour | just read back | 00:01 |
| CensoredBiscuit | sorry guies | 00:01 |
| hajour | don't worry CensoredBiscuit | 00:01 |
| Pendulum | CensoredBiscuit: no worries. I was just pinging people to see who was around :) | 00:01 |
| hajour | Pendulum, said already it was no problem CensoredBiscuit | 00:01 |
| CensoredBiscuit | its my minute to win it night | 00:01 |
| hajour | drat you was earlier Pendulum | 00:02 |
| hajour | Pendulum, i not remember but was you also come to UDS or not? | 00:02 |
| Pendulum | hajour: I'm hoping to be at UDS | 00:02 |
| CensoredBiscuit | Pendulum cprofitt gave me a decent idea | 00:03 |
| Pendulum | oh? | 00:03 |
| hajour | i hope also you come and that i can come to | 00:03 |
| CensoredBiscuit | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/admin | 00:03 |
| Pendulum | ok | 00:04 |
| hajour | Pendulum, ^ | 00:04 |
| Pendulum | hajour: definite that would be great :) | 00:05 |
| hajour | i am nerves by the idea to go to UDS but also very curious how that is and if i can really help | 00:05 |
| CensoredBiscuit | I'm looking to work on the wiki page you told me too but I have no idea what accessibility programs come with ubuntu. | 00:05 |
| Pendulum | CensoredBiscuit: a good start is to look in the assitive technology section of the software center | 00:06 |
| hajour | btw what is the link to the screenreader | 00:20 |
| hajour | so i can help testing | 00:20 |
| JanC | orca? | 00:20 |
| hajour | i dont know charlie was talking about a screenreader | 00:21 |
| JanC | in the GUI that's Orca AFAIK | 00:22 |
| JanC | it runs when you enable "Assisterende technologieën" | 00:22 |
| hajour | there are more screenreaders then orca so i do not know which one is need to be tested | 00:22 |
| JanC | and I guess they want testing of the development version? | 00:22 |
| hajour | then i can the same time look or the translations are good for hannie to | 00:23 |
| hajour | dutch translations | 00:23 |
| hajour | so 2 task at the same time | 00:23 |
| JanC | of course | 00:24 |
| hajour | seams me am win win situation | 00:24 |
| hajour | or case | 00:24 |
| hajour | or something | 00:24 |
| hajour | :D | 00:24 |
| hajour | can it run on a eeepc like i have | 00:25 |
| hajour | ? | 00:25 |
| JanC | it should | 00:25 |
| hajour | last time (more then a month ago )my eeepc crasht because of orca also undifineds pc .so maybe i better can make sa backup from my files just to be safe | 00:26 |
| hajour | i am tired i go to sleep good night all | 00:33 |
| Cheri703 | are there any accessibility whatnots that let you adjust the contrast of things? | 06:29 |
| Cheri703 | my netbook doesn't have a contrast option for the display, and I was just thinking that might be something useful | 06:29 |
| Cheri703 | I am discovering that I get SIGNIFICANTLY less eye strain/pain at 20%-30% grey background with black text vs white and black, and that's even at very low brightness | 06:30 |
| Cheri703 | LOTS happier eyes | 06:31 |
| Cheri703 | I did find how to do it in firefox... | 06:37 |
| AlanBell | Cheri703: there are a bunch of things in the compiz filters relating to contrast | 07:07 |
| AlanBell | and really really cool options to simulate colour blindness | 07:07 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...ok | 07:08 |
| Cheri703 | I don't use compiz :/ | 07:08 |
| Cheri703 | I turn off desktop effects | 07:08 |
| AlanBell | new unity depends on compiz | 07:09 |
| Cheri703 | :( I haven't tried new unity, but hated old unity, so... | 07:09 |
| Cheri703 | :/ | 07:09 |
| AlanBell | I am using old unity | 07:10 |
| AlanBell | I am not a huge fan | 07:10 |
| AlanBell | I will probably use new unity | 07:10 |
| Cheri703 | I'll try it, but... | 07:10 |
| Cheri703 | if I don't like it I'll try something else | 07:11 |
| JanC | there are low-contrast themes for Gtk/GNOME, but they aren't as pretty as the default theme... | 07:21 |
| JanC | Cheri703: you can always disable all the "special" effects in Compiz | 07:22 |
| Cheri703 | might try it | 07:25 |
| Cheri703 | I guess I don't know that a filter is what I'd want. because I'd want other stuff to still look ok | 07:26 |
| Cheri703 | just don't want WHITE WHITE | 07:26 |
| AlanBell | Cheri703: trick for you :) | 08:07 |
| Cheri703 | ? | 08:07 |
| AlanBell | create a bookmark and put this in it: javascript:void(document.body.style.background='#dddddd') | 08:08 |
| Cheri703 | what will it do? | 08:08 |
| AlanBell | or just paste that in the URL bar on a website where you want to soften the background | 08:08 |
| AlanBell | it will change the background colour of the page | 08:08 |
| Cheri703 | ah, I already set it :) | 08:09 |
| AlanBell | from white (#FFFFFF) to a light grey | 08:09 |
| Cheri703 | thanks though :) | 08:09 |
| Cheri703 | you can go into the settings and change the color, even force sites to use it :) | 08:09 |
| AlanBell | you can have that as a bookmarklet | 08:09 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I definitely will save it | 08:09 |
| Cheri703 | I have xmarks, so if I'm on another computer I can still access it | 08:09 |
| AlanBell | I had one for javascript:void(document.body.style.fontFamily='ubuntu') to force the Ubuntu font when I was testing that on different sites | 08:10 |
| Cheri703 | ha, nice | 08:10 |
| AlanBell | just occurred to me that it could be done for other styles of the page | 08:10 |
| Cheri703 | :) | 08:11 |
| Cheri703 | found out I can change background colors in adobe reader (try to avoid it, but it's worth it for this). it will enable me to actually read ebooks and pdfs :) | 08:12 |
