At the moment we are writing several improvements for people with low 
vision, so we are very interested in all other problems that you 
encounter.

New features in KDE 3.4 will be:
* A style that works well with dark high contrast colour schemes and big 
font sizes
* A monochrome icon set, and an algorithm to colour it according to the 
foreground and background colours
* Some metathemes that include all the relevant settings
* A way to highlight the mouse cursor (thanks for the suggestion)
* Support for setting all settings at first KDE start in kpersonalizer (if 
we have enough time left to finish it)

If your employee uses a special colour scheme to make the screen content 
more readable to her, then we would be very interested in knowing which 
colour combination is useful for her purposes, so we can use it as a base 
for one of the planned metathemes.

Olaf
