Title: Large Font Buttons
Post by: Springer on May 24, 2004, 02:18:25 PM
This might should have gone in the "help section."

I am looking for a set of buttons with a larger font on them.  Something about the size of the buttons on the default theme here.  (the post new topic is the perfect size)

Style etc.. of the buttons really doesn't matter, I'm sure to find a theme to go with them.

If you want buttons with clear easy to read font, this is a good one:

I looked there, was hope'n that maybe one was missed, or in works.


Mainly need it for people who have bad vision.  You can enlarge the text easily ( control and mouse wheel up) but the buttons are the same size regardless.

I made some buttons with large text but haven't published them so far. There is a thread around in the forum here somewhere which contains a screenshot of them...

Edit: found the thread, here is the link:

This screenshot is even shrinked a little. That button set I usually give the button translators to double check their translation strings. It is especially made for clear readability. If welcome I could release this set or a b/w version of it as "accessible button set"...

Something like those would be very nice and welcomed.  As for that set or a b/w version it really does not matter so long as it is easy to read :)

The gray version will fit to more color schemes. The b/w version should be easier to read. I read somewhere that it is recommended to use b/w only for accessible sites. However I don't know how strict this is to be handled.

Thank you.

I've already showed my father (who needed them) and he said they are good.
