Abstract

"Better Defaults", as this effort is called for short, aims to collect suggestions for better default settings in OOo. Impress was first (in accordance with the present focus of project Renaissance) . This is a subproject of Project Renaissance and 'Gridhandling' is the first outcome of it. Now also the second part 'Bullets/Colors/Shortcuts' is added.<br>

Accessibility

Accessibility is the responsibility of the I-Team, beginning with UX, DEV and QA, to ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

1. Is the feature fully keyboard accessible?<br>(Ex: "I can go everywhere and use every function using the keyboard only"<br> <nowiki><START TYPING HERE></nowiki>
   #Have I specified visual alternatives for the&nbsp;case that the&nbsp;specified feature includes audio as output? <br> <nowiki><START TYPING HERE></nowiki>
   #Are text alternatives for all icons and graphics available?<br> <nowiki><Start typing here></nowiki>
   #Don't provide important information in colors alone<br>(Ex: marking important information hard coded in red)<br> <nowiki><START TYPING HERE></nowiki>
   #Does the specified feature respect system settings for font, size, and color for all windows and user interface elements? <br> <nowiki><START TYPING HERE></nowiki>
   #Have I ensured that&nbsp;flash rates do not exceed 2 hertz for blinking text, objects, or other elements? In any case, try to avoid flashing UI elements<br> <nowiki><START TYPING HERE></nowiki>
   #Ensure that assistive technology (AT) (like ZoomText or Orca) is able to read everything.<br> <nowiki><START TYPING HERE></nowiki>
