Re: [g-a-devel]What exactly is Visual Focus Indicator.

[Narayana Pattipati <narayana pattipati wipro com>]

Hi Padraig,

In the accessibility draft, visual focus indicator is said to be an audio
representation of
cursor position.

" A visual focus indicator is an audio representation of the cursor position
relative to the other objects on the
  desktop. This allows the user to move among objects interactively as the focus
changes. The visual focus must
  be programatically exposed to assistive technologies."

    Are you talking about Keyboard focus here. ?  Looking at the explanation given
to Visual
    focus indicator in the draft, I feel it is different.
