>>So what does this mean for VFP developers? Good question. While there are screen readers and other general purpose tools and software for making applications accessible, what should we do to promote usability of custom applications?

>Probably things like not hard-coding color choices so that blue/green color-blind people can choose their own color set and don't get stuck with blue words on a green background.

We have new agency GUI rules published recently here, that are probably similar to what's coming officially. Probably the main feature was allowing users to customize almost all colors in any app (excepting things like images), either through Windows or the app itself. I was on a team that strongly recommended this policy, in fact, after gathering information from various sources that indicated this was the way to go. No more apps where developers (or even worse, managers) dictate colors!

>Maybe things like standards for screen and font size.

Also important, new guidelines indicate these should be flexible for customization by user, also, allowing for users with vision problems, e.g.

>Also keystroke combinations that harmonize with the sticky keys that MS already has available. IOW not using SHIFT+&+INS+NumLock, which a one-handed user can't do easily.

That sounds plausible. Bear in mind though, that not all agencies use MS software (yet, anyway :)
