Action-640 Smith the IER for 2.7.6 2.7.6 Change preference setting outside the user interface: The user can adjust preference settings from outside the user agent user interface. (Level AA)## DONE TPAC @@ 640 IER PROPOSED: Intent of Success Criterion 2.7.6 : Some users have a disability that prevents them from setting up the user agent to their requirements when it is first installed or used. They require the ability to set accessibility requirements before entering the user agent. There are multiple ways this can be accomplished including: detecting and implementing the platform accessibility settings, providing an external file to modify, access to settings from a separate utility program, or providing accessibility options in the installation program. When the user inadvertently selects a setting that renders the user interface inaccessible, a method must be provided to allow the user to reset the user interface preferences. Examples of Success Criterion 2.7.6 : Sasha requires high contrast to be able to discriminate the shape of letters. She has set the accessibility preferences on her mobile phone to use the high contrast mode. When she launches her mobile browser for the first time, it detects that she is using high contrast and presents the opening page to her in high contrast mode. Justin has low vision and an attention deficit disorder. He is setting up his new e-book reader and is interrupted while setting the default font colors. He accidentally sets his background and font color to white on white and cannot read the settings screen to recover his default settings. Justin exits the reader and follows the instructions on the reader vendor web site to edit the "settings.ini" file to adjust the colors outside the program, so he can use the reader the way he needs. Aosa is blind and uses the accessibility settings on his mobile phone. Because he has accidentally removed his settings in the past, he has now set the hard button on his phone to restore his settings. Bintu is deaf and enjoys watching captioned videos. Since different video players may not have accessible settings, she sets her browser to always display captions, and hopes that the video player does not override the browser settings.
