CS Theme for Visually Impaired People?

Postby Tankie » Mon Jun 06, 2016 3:51 pm

hi im visually impaired (double vision and overall probelms with sight) and i find it a little hard to use cs. I was wondering if there could maybe be a theme where the text and buttons are a lot bigger and maybe the background is black and the text is white? I use the business theme which is ok but i have to zoom in over 150% to see things. The problem is past 150, the formatting starts to look strange. also for the colours... for me its so much less painful to read on a black background. I do have high contrast settings on my browser but the make all the images llook bad.

If this has already been suggested then im very sorry. i didnt see it in the faq

thank you for your time

edit: just thought maybe the theme could override the smaller text option ppl can use for their posts because i cannot see them at all D: dunno if thats possible though

I'm sorry to hear about this aw

I am pretty sure that text size cannot be overridden by the theme, though. The text has its own sort of coding tags, but all the themes do is change the colours and style of the background and things like that. The best option I can think of for you is what you've already done, zoom in and up the contrast
It does take a lot of work to create a new theme, so while I support your thoughts of a theme that works for you, the theme may not be used enough by the rest of the community to warrant the great amount of effort needed with coding and such
I do wish you luck and hope you're able to enjoy CS c:
you can call me acata or acaxxxxxpreviously Moona_ (also go by Moona and Moon)

Hiya!
Unfortunately there are no CS themes for this, but something else that you can use is stylebot (but will only work in chrome). It allows you to customise webpages for yourself, so you can make whatever text bigger you need to, and change the background colour and all text colours to make things easier for you.

EDIT: Once you've downloaded the extension, restart your chrome, then right click on the text of any post, hover over the Stylebot option and select "Style element". At the bottom of the menu there should be a few buttons - select "Edit CSS" and paste the following code in the box provided:
Code: Select all
div.content {
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}


This should change all the posts on the forums for you! The normal size is 13px, so you can make it bigger or smaller as needed. I should note though that any "fancy" forum posts that rely on BB code will be fairly messy, as the text just won't fit where it needs to and most fancy posts rely on that.
If you need any further help, do let me know! The steps should be the same for increasing the size on other things like signatures and PMs, but I'm more than happy to give you a hand if you need one. Hopefully this is what you're looking for! (:
