A11y guidelines for styles in core KDE - style devs, please read!

[Matthew Woehlke]

The usability group has recommended that widgets that currently have 
input focus be drawn in a different manner using a designated color 
which is (currently) part of KColorScheme. And we're also attempting to 
standardize the color used to indicate widgets that can currently be 
clicked (i.e. the "hover" color).

There are two problems: one, apparently none of the style developers has 
heard about this until now, and two this currently requires styles to 
link to kdeui (which reportedly causes crashes). So this is an attempt 
to get the right people reading and involved in the conversation.

We need to figure out some resolution, and if it involves API changes, 
we need to figure one out *fast* (else at best we already have dead 
API's in kdeui).

My personal preference is to fix the kdeui crash (if it's still a 
problem) so that styles can use features in kdelibs. (I think this would 
also allow us to kill off kdefx once and for all, by merging it into kdeui.)

Some clarifications: One, we aren't asking for instant conformance. 
Conformance by 4.0 would of course be preferable, but really acceptance 
of the policy by the devs is I think enough for now. Two, we aren't 
trying to force anything on *users*, rather it is assumed that this 
could be turned off in either the color or style configuration.

Please include k-c-d in replies.
