Well, the thing is that "visuals" is actually what makes life more
difficult for sighted people. <grin> As in my example with Quicktime,
when Visuals are on with VO, no video is shown on the screen. Once the
Visuals are off, then everything works as expected.

Hey Victor,
I would imagine it's one of those things that, currently, there's no
option for in the OS. For example, if you turn the screen brightness
down to 0 percent and reboot, the brightness will always automatically
increase to a minimum value upon startup. I guess it would be useful for
a sighted person when logging in or whatever. I guess the assumption was
made that, no matter what, a sighted person would be totally lost if
visuals were hidden, the screen curtain was on or the screen brightness
was zero upon startup. All of which, of course, wouldn't matter to a
blind person but...
Cheers.

Subject: Anybody knows how to make visuals hide by default?
In my various tests I've discovered that Voiceover visuals interfere
with features needed by "visuals", meaning sighted people. It seems
though that every time VO starts, visuals, such as VO frame, are
displayed on the screen. It is easy to verify because right after VO's
start, you can hide them by pressing CTRL+OPTION+F11.
I went into VO pannel, disabled everything relevant I could think of,
but visuals still come up every time I start VO.
Thoughts?
