Pretesting High-Contrast Support

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

  1. Open Control Panel, double-click Accessibility Options, and then click the Display tab.
  2. Click Settings and verify that White on Black is selected. Apply these settings.
  3. Go back into your product and test the major screens, dialog boxes, and controls to ensure that these changes have been properly reflected.

The application should still be usable.

Screen elements should be displayed correctly and be compatible with the appearance scheme. For example, make sure that text contrasts with its background, that graphics on toolbar buttons are distinguishable, and that menus and scroll bars have the appropriate sizes.

You can also experiment with appearance schemes by opening Control Panel, double-clicking Display, and then clicking the Appearance tab.
