Have you considered that she has a genuine problem with seeing that
particular combination of colours and shadows? I work for a disability
charity and it's amazing how often people dismiss others problems just
because they don't fit into their own interpretation of disability.

 

It's quite possible she is actually just a PITA, but that's not always
the case.

I'd love to do that, but this is Britain. Health and Safety have more
powers than the police. And if I say something as non-PC as suggesting
she get her eyesight checked, I'd probably find myself fired.

If it looks fine to you and to everyone else, except this user, I would
politely suggest that she have her eyeglasses prescription updated.

I have a blue corporate desktop background delivered via mandatory
profiles. The mandatory profile also has white icon text with drop
shadows. looks nice, I think, and so do most of the users. However, I
have one PITA user (who happens to be on the health and safety
committee) who says that it looks blurry to her (even with her glasses
on), and that it must be changed, as this allegedly constitutes a health
and safety violation.

Anyone know where in the Registry the icon text colour is
stored/altered? I can't seem to find anything via my Google-fu (although
it is admittedly weak this morning as I was ensconced in the pub last
night). I would much rather just kick the user in question to death, but
unfortunately that is not an available option :-)

TIA,
