- _2paq 5y agoIs that high contrast mode, their dark mode colors, and their font choice supposed to work for everyone?
- jamesgeck0 5y ago...Changing the default fonts is definitely supported.
- _2paq 5y ago> ...Changing the default fonts is definitely supported. Not for the GNOME shell, unless you're editing the relevant CSS files in /usr/share/themes or installing themes that do so. And if you do end up doing that, you get to see issues like this https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2331 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2331 And I wouldn't be surprised if changing fonts became an unsupported feature in future releases because apparently, it was just a hack and not well supported and didn't really work like themes. Apparently, gnome-tweak-tool is an unsupported tool as well.
- smoldesu 5y agoThe high-contrast mode does not accommodate for all people with colorblindness. I knew a number of people in Libera who were appalled when they updated to GNOME 40 and could no longer theme the shell to be actually visible.
