Right... and of course all of that will comply with: <http://www.openoffice.org/ui/accessibility/> These might be of further interest: <http://www.google.com/google-d-s/accessibility/documents.html> <http://accessibility.psu.edu/googledocs> I suggest if you folks wish to do this, that you implement as a 'theme' that the user can choose to use if they wish. If you intend to make it the default, then I reckon that you'll have considerable issues (user drain being one of them).
