Re: Accessibilty module for colorblind people

Hi Henrik:

<"What he said" >

You and Carlos put this very well.  I agree with you both that this 
sounds like a great thing to add to gnome-mag.

By the way, Carlos has recently done some very nice work to enable 
fullscreen magnification without requiring two X screens, so based on 
this new work (still in bugzilla, but soon to be in cvs we hope), this 
could be done pretty elegantly at "1:1" without noticeably changing the 
user experience.

Best regards

Bill

p.s. - gnome-mag magnifies at '1x' if you run it with "-z1".  To use 
this in fullscreen mode without changing your Xorg.conf will require 
Carlos' patch to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348375.
