Visolve is the software that transforms colors of the computer display into
the discriminable colors for various people including people with color
vision deficiency, commonly called color blindness. One of its aims is to
help people with color blindness guess a normal color. It can also be used
to select colours that color-blind users will be able to discern. Visolve
comes in two forms:
1) Visolve Deflector is the program invoked by Windows start menu, shortcut,
etc. By using it, you can transform color in the specified area, or color of
the entire screen. Moreover, you can adjust the transformation degree and
can change the appearance of Visolve Toolbar.
2) Visolve Toolbar appears at the desktop taskbar, the Explorer window, and
the Internet Explorer window by selecting the Visolve item in each menu. You
can transform color of the entire screen, and color of the entire Explorer
window respectively.
