And if we are going to go on like this. 1. I'm terminally ill. Though I've made 25 years and fingers are still = crossed old age will take me before my extremely painfull illness does. 2. I was born with genetic defects (though surgically corrected at 5 = months old) 3. I'm disabled But I'm not stupid like you. --=20 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.microscum.com/mscommunity/ "David Candy" . wrote in message = ...

But = everyone assumes I'm a homosexual anyway so that won't protect me.=20 Why do I get bashed and discrimated against because people believe I'm a = homosexual. Because I believe denying that I am one is actually saying = "it's ok to bash gays". Though after a few bashings I act overtly = heterosexual for self protection. But I take after St Paul so I'm = celibate. --=20 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.microscum.com/mscommunity/ "Yabbadoo" wrote in message = ... The original post was clearly phrased and has been partly answered (a=20 "workaround" suggeseted by Sharon, bless her). I had hoped for a = "regedit"=20 answer.

Tried "Accessability" options (high contrast) which are of limited=20 help - (drawbacks outweight the advantage). These options are for the = visually impaired, i.e poor sighted folk. I have 20/20 vision, with glasses. "Normal" folk often fall into the semantics trap. " Colour Blind" = is NOT being blind (as in unable to see). Think more of camouflage - = inability to identify certain elements within a scene because the element = colours=20 blend into the background. I can see objects against a contrasting background (birds in the = sky,=20 for example) but I can NOT tell you what colour(s) they are. Birds in=20 trees - much more difficult (dark against dark). There is no cure, we are born with faulty cones (light receptors in = the eye). "Colour" is reflected light - colour sight is the ability to identify/classify the wavelength of refelected light. Web designers are often artists first, designers second. Those = leaning toward art tend to use colour palettes pleasing to them, without = regard for practical ease of use of their site. It is this fact which needs=20 broader distribution. Sincerely, Len. "David Candy" . wrote in message ... If we didn't pass colour tests then we didn't get jobs. I press Ctrl + A to select the page that changes the colour of=20 everything. I'm not colour blind but I still need sensible colours (like light = gray=20 on a lighter grey background).
