Konqueror (KDE's web browser/file manager) offer extensive support (Settings->Stylesheets-General option: 'use accessibility stylesheet defined in "Customize" tab') It has support for invert (or custom) colors, image suppression, changes to base font familiy and font size, auto-increase for fonts, etc., plus Preview option. Plus, you can use user-defined stylesheet with '!important' instructions (which are respected properly) There is also Personalization->Accessibility tab in KDE COntrol Center, which offers: * visible bell * audible bell * sticky keys * slow keys * bounce keys * mouse navigation wth keyboard Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can install latest KDE stable release (2.2.2) either from www.kde.org or from your favourite Linux distribution. -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
