UI Accessibility

This is more of a feature request. 

I have been using the Adobe family of products for over 2 decades now and recently I find myself in the visually impared community. As such, I have come to notice how unaccessible these apps are for people with low vision. A few modifications would bring these programs into the 21st century.

 

1. It would be great if  Adobe adds a high contrast mode for the UI or let users edit the colors of the UI. The light grey text on any shade of gray background is horrible

 

2. Increase the font size. No just for the visually impared, but designers who are now working on large displays have to squint or zoom in to read the tiny interface fonts

 

3. Make sure all elements in the programs work with text to speech engines! I find that only  a fraction of the window labels, headers layers names etc react to a text reader. This seems like a simple fix?

 

4. Allow cursor scalability. I can increase my cursor in windows but the tool cursors in adobe apps are tiny.

 

I realize I am now in a relativly small percentage of demographics that probably use adobe apps on a daily basis, however it would be amazing if one day they consider some or all of these suggestions.
