RE: Focus (more) visible

My personal user testing reveals the following:


  *   Example 3 barely perceivable `if tabbing -- If looking at it without tabbing – it’s not perceivable to me at all.
  *   Example 8 not perceivable at all
  *   Example 11 colors not perceivable – any color changes is swallowd up by the high contrast colors and effectively it is not visible to me.  I see the blinking caret and I see some sort of size change in the boxes – that’s it.
  *   Example 13 barely perceiveable if tabbing –barely perceivable if not tabbing.  Blinking caret is close to left edge making it difficult to detect caret.

Other examples are perceivable by me.

Hi everyone,

Based on the comments in yesterday’s call I’ve created the 1st-draft understanding doc for focus (more) visible SC:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g9_WBgfhViWAaRFIWWt10CP5rBsEVIWm3vT1vWqrHvI/edit?usp=sharing


That doc is open for comments.

When I say “based on the comments”, I’ve mostly tried to explain it better. I’m fairly sure the SC text/approach is the best way, but it does need explaining better!

Also of interest might be this test page:
https://alastairc.uk/tests/wcag22-examples/focus-more-visible.html

You can see the effect of measuring adjacent-color vs change-of-color on the results.

I still need to consider the add-an-SC vs update-an-SC comments from Bruce and Katie (and JF), I want to track the knock-on effects of the scenarios before commenting.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
