Re: [orca-list] most accessible desktop with orca

[Rob Whyte <fudge thefudge net>]

Hi Don,
nice to see you on list again.
Gnome 3 is what Orca is developed upon.

What exactly are you finding about Gnome-shell that you feel is not accessible.
It may be you are not familiar with how to navigate using keyboard shortcuts?
I am not aware if you are vision impaired or not.

What is the purpose of the build if I may ask, is it intended to be run as a live image, if so the Mate environment may be a better solution.

Thanks
Rob Whyte

Hello,

 

I am attempting to build an accessible version of kalilinux (a derivative of debian jesse).

I have the optio of using gnome, mate, xfce, or lxde as my desktop manager.

When I build the image with the gnome desktop it is using gnome3 and the gnome-shell is not very accessible.

If I build with the mate desktop, I got the gnome-shell again.

I haven’t tried either xfce or lxde yet.

 

My question is which desktop is most usable with orca?  I personally liked the gnome2 desktop and was comfortable with it, but when I generate the gnome image even if I am able to pick between gnome and gnome-classic and choose gnome classic it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA,

Donald
