actually guys I installed LXDE sonar or sonar lxde rather and checked boxes for updates and stuff. well it turns out that all the panels seem to be accessible. I was listening to a podcast created by the accessible sonar OS developer the podcast was made in late November of 2012 maybe november 24th 2012. so perhaps upon installing some updates during install, perhaps the accessibility of the panels has been fixed in one of those updates. the lubuntu software center seems to be a bit inaccessible but there are alternatives for me such as apt-get and synaptic. or maybe I can get the source code and make it accessible? tell me is Linux development easier than windows development or are they both about the same in complexity and difficulty? I have a plus and network plus certifications. I looked at code before programming code like python and I don't think that development is my thing. but that was windows code. perhaps Linux will be different and maybe easier for me?
