a11y: panel size widgets are undistinguishable

Bug since it is too much for handicapped people to say which triangle is which.

Imagines horizontal panel, left adjusted, and such icons

if you can tell the meaning of those "icons" it means it is a good suggestion :-)

Btw. position icon could be an anchor also (hard to draw in ASCII).

i don't understand the proposed solution, but i sort of understand the problem reported (and wonder if it isn't already covered in one of your other a11y bugs?)

do you have someone on hand who is handicapped in such a way that this impacts them, so that improvements can be tested?

(i assume so .. if no, what are you basing these reports on?)
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-07-14 10:18:59 UTC
Well, then those are not good icons then (I don't think I mentioned it before).

Ok, the point is to provide distinct shapes for those widgets.

And I can do false test on myself (but not positive test though) -- if I can have to think each time if blue triangle is maximize or maybe it was green triangle, then for handicapped person it has to be a killer -- is gray triangle is for maximize or is it the gray triangle.
