We will introduce a set of a new way to theme the Wagtail admin interface, specifically for low-vision users who would benefit for higher color contrast and clearer visual cues of interactive elements. This is a follow-up to the introduction of Dark Mode #65 and information density theming. This builds upon the work to make the admin theme-able and to adapt it based on user needs (see also contrast themes support. This aligns well with Wagtail’s goals to improve accessibility.
Intended outcome
The opt-in theming option will be available for all users via a theme switcher in their account profile form.
The main focus for now is a "more contrast" theming option, but we might also offer "less contrast" in the future.
