FW: View Modes Media Feature

FYI.

Some interesting things. One, they define ‘chrome’, which might serve as a replacement for ‘user agent user interface’. Second, one of the modes is ‘floating’ which would be ‘transparent’.  View Mode is a spec from CSS. I think UAAG might need some SC for overriding the transparency of UI or rendering elements.

Thoughts?

PFWG took a look at the View Mode media feature spec:

Gregory did a preliminary review for us:

and we discussed 5 May 2010:

We didn't identify specific accessibility issues, but did think the UAAG and ATAG groups might want to review that the set of view modes appears to be complete.
