As a strtuggling artist with very poor vision, I find it amazing that peope with a lot of design knowledge fail to take into account that there are people like myself. I find this in many things, not just the site design here. I took the plunge and bought PP2014 when it was on sale, and I am having a terrible time using it because the GUI is designed in such a way that it is almost impossible for me to see. The navigation icons on the top of the preview window used for moving and rotation and rendering are so dark I struggle to find them. The overall dark gray color is absolutely horrid to me. I could care less if I were able to change them to suit my eyesight. But I find nothing in the general preferences that allow me to do so. It is just an example of the many things people like myself have to deal with. I have no vision in my left eye and cataracts and glaucoma in the right. None of that is conducive to the way things are designed. White radio buttons with black text as I see here in the forum for navigation work. So much other things don't. When I worked in social services I took certification courses in ADA. I learned a lot about what faces people with disabilities. Why is it that designers seem to care less about people like me?
