Even more accessible
I have now added a high contrast layout to this site. To check it out just visit my frontpage, click the A more accessible layout in the grey box and you will get the high contrast layout. The layout is 100% fluid, a larger font-size and a white text against a black background, just normal stuff. IŽve been trying this out for a while on my beta site but could never get it to work until today when I found a new version of the themeswither plugin for WP. Let me know what you think.

You should change the black color on the text in the footer (when the page is normal). Now you have black on the links and topic. The contrast is really bad because the black color.
Back on topic. The new functions should be accessible allover the page instead. Now I need to go to the first page to access the functions.

Thanks for the comment. You are probably right on both your comments. IŽll see what I can come up with.

Nice initiative!
But the “zoom layout” function should really be accessible from all over the web site (I agree with G.Lindqvist on that).

Thanks for the comment. IŽll try as soon as possible to work something out. ShouldŽt be that hard to fix. I also want to fix a few other things when IŽm on it.

The sitedesign has now been updated so the link can be accessed from the whole site.

I think you should call it “High contrast style” or something similar instead of “Accessible mode”. There are many dimensions of accessibility, not just contrast and font-size.

Your right, I have thought about the naming too as it sounds strange. IŽm on it.
