For several years now, webmasters have increasingly began to make their websites unreadable with pallid, faint, gray fonts on white or even worse, slightly lighter gray backgrounds. This design fashion is basically disenfranchising the elderly, those with vision problems and those with poor quality computer monitors. I have yet to talk to anybody, friend or family, who actually likes the trend. .... The purpose of my post here isn't to solicit suggestions for freeware solutions, although if you want to provide any feel free. Rather, I'm looking for input which might explain why webmasters are trying to blind their viewers with poorly designed websites which use faint fonts. Most websites are definitely NOT friendly to old eyes. Maybe they just wanna sell more glasses and medicine! The same trend is happening to mobile gadgets. How many of them display text in eye-friendly manner? Well... More and more kids are having eye problems because of over-dosing with mobile gadgets. Yeah, it's annoying. Thanks God we have accessiblity in our devices and softwares to adjust. -- Quote of the Week: "There's an ant crawling up your back in the nighttime." --They Might Be Giants' Ant Song Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://aqfl.net & http://antfarm.home.dhs.org / / /\ /\ \ http://antfarm.ma.cx.
