Just to bring this into a larger inclusion, I have visual-cognitive problems [long-sighted] and usually need a serif font and with short-term memory loss need to see everything in one screen. [The optometrist assistant said I could use 'magnify' - but this means going backwards and forwards between page areas which is hopeless for me!]
A close screen is sore on my eyes, so I have a large TV screen about 5 feet away at home.
The problem is the icons are too small. Yes, after a lot of practice hours-weeks? at memorising where everything is I will start to get it together, but this is not user-friendly. I would rather re-size and re-colour icons and panels - it's just too grey! I've done this with other programs such as re-colouring my old photoshop via the basic computer settings, but I don't know if it's possible to change all the shades of gray. Really small 'secondary' icons [up and down arrows near 'stroke' in Illustrator for example] need to be highlighted for me in another colour.
I lost marks in my maths exam because I couldn't see the minus sign - my cognitive problem means I can't see TV remotes that are black or clear plastic containers - it's a worse form of 'Where are my glasses?' - when you find that you are wearing them!
I don't have bi-focals - I'd rather not use glasses and read from a distance than keep pulling them off and on all the time.
