No Real High-Contrast Modes? Options to Improve Readability. #4051

Open MarjaE2 opened 1 month ago

MarjaE2 commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug

I'm having a hard time reading the interface and finding what accessibility options are available. I've got an awful headache between the trouble reading and the animation.

There is a "High Contrast" mode, but it is dark gray on black. Every mode relies on gray text for parts of the interface, with little or no contrast with the background. I'm currently using Nord Light to minimize the halos.

I've also tried using the zoom settings, but they make text too big to fit before it's bold enough to read. And they can start flashing back and forth between 200% and 60%, since at 200%, the slider can jump to 60%, and vice-versa. It'd help to have minimum font size settings, and/or boldness settings, separate from the zoom settings.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Heroic Games Launcher in Fedora.
  2. Try to read the interface.
  3. Open Accessibility, if you can find it.

Expected behavior

"High Contrast" mode should have more contrast.

Mode and font options should allow better readability, for users with trouble seeing faint and/or thin text.

Mode and font options should include more light options, for users with astigmatisms.
