Michell,

One thing to do if you let users set colors themselves in order to reduce support calls as much as possible is to place a "Set to Default" button on their color picker.



>I had a user once who made everything various shades of purple and then wondered why some things in the app were hard to see. :) Letting the user choose per app is a good idea. I like having different colours so everything doesn't look the same, but _I_ want to be able to choose them.

>If you really want to check your site, go into accessibility options and set it to ignore font sizes, then crank up the textsize and see how it looks. That's how I run because there's too many sites out there that force the fontsize and then textsize doesn't matter.

>>There's been several discussions here about allowing the application to modify screen colours or only use the windows colour set & only allow users to modify that themselves through the control panel. I go the application specific way, use suitable defaults but allow the operator to select colours for the individual application. Relying on the global windows colour set to be suitable for all applications, I think, is bound not to suit all applications.
