[WSG] Firefox Greyscale Extension

2005-08-18 Thread Marcel Pociot



Hallo 
zusammen!


Ich suche nach einer 
Erweiterung für Firefox , die es ermöglicht eine Webseite in Graustufen anzeigen 
zu lassen.
Im Bezug auf 
Barrierefreiheit ist die Darstellung der Farben in Grautönen mit ausreichendem 
Kontrast eine Prio 1.
Allerdings ist es 
etwas umständlich von dem Bildschirm ständig Screenshots zu machen und diese in 
Grautöne umzuwandeln.

Wenn es eine 
einfache Firefox-Plugin Lösung geben würde, wär ich sehr 
erfreut.

Google hat mir 
leider nicht weitergeholfen.

Mit freundlichen 
Grüßen,

Marcel 
Pociot

Marcel, if I understand correctly, you are looking for a Firefox
extension that
will remove all colors from a web page to render it in black and white. I do
not believe there is such an extension. You may be able to use the Web
Developer toolbar [1] to edit the CSS of a webpage and change the colors
manually, but that will not be easy to do either compared to your current
process.

Hello 
everybody!

I'm 
looking for an extension for Firefox which makes it possible to view a webpage 
in greyscale.
With 
regards to accessibility, the representation of colours in greyscale with 
sufficient contrast is a priority 1.
However it's a bit awkward to continually take screenshots and to change 
those into grescale.

If 
there wasa simple Firefox plugin solution, I'd be very 
happy.

Best 
regards,

Marcel

AW: [SPAM?]: Re: [WSG] Firefox Greyscale Extension

2005-08-18 Thread Marcel Pociot
Hey sorry for not translating it into english :)

Well I want to know if there is a firefox extension that makes it possible
to look at a webpage in greyscale.
The point is: To have a webpage barrier-free the contrast of the webpage has
to be good enough to recognize every image, link, etc. even if the monitor
would only display it in greyscale.

It would be a lot of work to check for this feature by making screenshots of
the webpage and editing this screenshot in Photoshop.

So unfortunately editing the css would not sovle this problem.

Or maybe a little tool that could switch Windows to greyscale (like when
Windows XP is shutting down) - Just a simple and fast solution for this :)
But FF Extension would be the best of course ;)

Not an FF solution, but you can look at the excellent
AIS Web Accessibility Toolbar for IE
http://www.nils.org.au/ais/web/resources/toolbar/
which has a function that does exactly what you're after
(Colors  Greyscale)

Gadwin PrintScreen (http://www.gadwin.com/) is freeware that lets you 
view a screen capture as a gray scale image without writing a file. Not 
as handy as a FF extension would be but much better than using Photoshop.
