[Bug 1400580] Re: Color Inverse on display. Toggle Negative Image
Hi Mikodo,
thank you for your messages on this topic. Accessibility is something we need
to work on for Unity8. We have plenty to do, from the visual assistance
features you've mentioned, to proper keyboard navigation and text-to-speech
support. We have a solid list of TODOs (we had a meeting on this topic only
this week), we just need to get to work.
I've been doing desktops since the Unity2d days, which had reasonably
good accessibility support. We intend to make Unity8 even better.
The unfortunate reality is that features like convergence do tend to get
more business focus than important usability features. It is messages
like yours that give us not only the motivation but also persuasive
arguments and evidence ("users are asking for this") to give more
resources to this topic.
Thanks for commenting here. We'll be in touch when we've features ready for
testing.

[Bug 1400580] Re: Color Inverse on display. Toggle Negative Image
Status in mir_proving_server: Negative: DONE (Super+N) High Contrast: DONE (Super+C) Red Shift: TODO (but would be trivial) Zoom: Done (Super+mousewheel) None of these features are available in Unity8 yet but all of them except Zoom would be easy to move into Unity System Compositor so that Unity8 could use them. That may well be easier than re-implementing them in Unity8. Desktop zoom is harder to reuse in Unity8 because it relies on the mouse cursor position, and Unity8 has its own mouse cursor movement so Unity System Compositor would be unable to zoom to the correct location for the Unity8 cursor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400580 Title: Color Inverse on display.

[Bug 1400580] Re: Color Inverse on display. Toggle Negative Image
I have been hesitant to add a comment to this bug. Personally as stated, I have impaired eye-sight although, I remain fully functional for now with a few adjustments. I have a brother that is more encumbered who, is legally blind and, needs many more enhancements to cope with computer use. He is helped with compositing for Zoom Effect & Magnifier and uses on start up as I. I am cognizant of the importance of fixing this bug for Unity8 users around the globe. Not all people are going to know of the alternatives available to them within Linux. So, I am impeaching for the resolution of this within Unity8 for, many more users than we two brothers. The availability of Unity users especially, casual users needing these features, (red-shift, high-contrast, and possibly including, the zooming and magnifying effects also) within Unity8 as gui is, much needed for these people who, have much less ability to find solutions because of their sight limitations and casual computing use. I believe work on Unity8 is being done now, to bring it to functionality as the Ubuntu X server replacement. I think now, should also be the time to build in these important gui features.

Performance: (Desktop) Composite using double buffering instead of triple to reduce visible lag. . mir_proving_server: Can now resize windows from any edge or corner using the existing Alt+middlebuttondrag. . mir_proving_server: Added some demo custom shaders (negative and high contrast modes: Super+N/C). . mir_proving_server: Can now close clients politely via Alt+F4. .

Indeed, we should build accessibility features in as early as possible. I wonder if this should happen in unity8, or maybe this should be a function of Mir itself? ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Also affects: mir Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400580 Title: Color Inverse on display.

[Bug 1400580] Re: Color Inverse on display. Toggle Negative Image
It's trivial to do in a fragment shader: gl_FragColor = vec4(1.0 - red, 1.0 - green, 1.0 - blue, 1.0); The only issue is that Unity doesn't share shader logic with Mir. We'd have to implement it in Unity8/Qt at least. I'll leave the Mir task open because we might get a separate proof of concept done in Mir still. ** Tags added: enhancement ** Changed in: mir Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: mir Status: New = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400580 Title: Color Inverse on display.
