Menu Fonts | Low-Vision Access
Is there a high contrast (white on black) theme with enlarged Menu Text, for low vision users? If so where can I find it? How do I add it to my GIMP setup? Thanks for any thoughts.

Which Operating system (OS) ? Windows / linux / MacOS ?
Which version of Gimp ? (look in the Gimp menu Help > About) The default Gimp theme is already White text on a Dark Background. Find the themes in Edit > Preferences > Themes Example https://i.imgur.com/IGpgmST.jpg If you look in this post https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Layers...3#pid28203 there is information and a download for a utility plugin Change menu and icons.py Unzip and where that goes depends on your OS. For Windows it is C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins Increasing the font and icon size (+ a Gimp restart) will get something like this: Then for the toolbox icons, the latest Gimp version does have a high-visibility option and a slider to increase icon size.

I will need to take this a step at s time.
OS: I use Windows 10. 2 HDMI 23 or so inch monitors. One I keep in Portrait the other in Landscape. I mostly use the Landscape for GIMP but will turn to the Portrait if the reading becomes difficult on the Landscape. Both are set for Windows 1.75 zoom. I use the Windows High Contrast Tool HTTP://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windo...a90125e696 It just dawned on me that this could be part of my problem? I cannot use the normal Windows modes because they are not compatible with my vision. Too much white and glare. Your two screen shots above are what I see. This is very difficult and demanding reading and study for me. I have tried using the Windows Magnifier but most times the GIMP content turns even muddier. By High Contrast I am thinking closer to these values. #000000 Black (W3C) #FFFFFF White (W3C) I perceive GIMP is more in the range of #FFFFF0 Ivory (W3C) #726E6D Smokey Gray My "Windows" tab stops at "Single Window Mode". How can I get to “Change menu and letters…”? Responding..... “If you look in this post https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Layers...3#pid28203 there is information and a download for a utility plugin Change menu and icons.py”. I do not clue what to do here. I need something more basic. Thanks for your help. A couple of trailers.... current version GIMP 2.10.30 The colors i am seeing in your screen shots may not be the same as yours. I have an example of what I see in a .jpeg file. How can I add it here? I take it that one provides a way to upload? i am not making out all the Icons above. Is there listing of them in a text format? Thanks again. Quote:My "Windows" tab stops at "Single Window Mode".Install the plugin. This link https://www.gimp-forum.net/attachment.php?aid=7563 downloads the zipped plugin.
Quote:By High Contrast I am thinking closer to these values. It is possible to modify an theme, it does involve editing the file. maybe someone can explain the process. Quote:have an example of what I see in a .jpeg file. How can I add it here? I take it that one provides a way to upload?Top of the Forum is "Attachments" which gives information on attaching files. Otherwise, use a free image hosting site such as imgur.com and post the link they give you. Quote:i am not making out all the Icons above. Is there listing of them in a text format?No. Personally I dislike the symbolic icons and use the coloured versions. Up to you. Hover the mouse over a tool and it shows the name of the tool (+ any other tools in the tool group) ---- That is about as far as I can go. Edit: This with font size increased to 14 and toolbox icons set to "Huge" |
