so i

is there a application, a user can go through (test per say),  and identify various contrasts and colors that are easier for the person to see, and read, and auto apply them to moodle general theme?  

example microsoft windows. going into themes, and you can pick different themes (high contrast, some basic color themes, etc..) but is there some sort of wizard or test or like. a person could take. once they signed up with an account for moodle. and have things adjust to them?

example for different color blindess. or to set different moods based on color.   

===========

EDIT: is there a computer automated test for eye sight... example goto doctors office, and you have to read letters on a board so far away. is there something like that, that is tied into Moodle Themes for adjust text size / button size, etc...?

have had to help to many folks, with different eye sight conditions, and trying to read what they have on screen drives me a bit nutz. if i attempt to change things to my liking, i get chewed out. due to they can no longer read stuff. with that i am asking is there some sort of automated script / test that students / users could go through, that would give some standardized approach to things and have this settings auto applied to moodle theme?

Picture of Core developers Picture of Plugin developers Picture of Testers

The nearest to that at the moment is the Accessibilty block plugin which can do things like add a 'colour overlay' on a moodle site based on user preference. There's no automatic test that says 'oh you are red-green colour blind use this overlay' or 'your dyspraxia would benefit from this other colour overlay' but that block does allow the user to set certain elements to suit their individual needs.

Hi,

To answer your question, MOODLE does not have a test page that assesses user needs when it comes to visual or other impairment. It would be good if we were able to do that though

cheers
