Cool Accessibility

This free plugin is intended to help you make your website more accessible.

It is responsive and works on desktop computers & mobile devices

You can dock the accessibility panel to any of the 4 sides in desktops and to 2 sides in mobile devices

The accessibility panel opens from an toggle icon that can be set to any of the 4 corners from the admin option panel

All the icons have a keyboard shortcut so you can control the accessibility from the keyboard even with the accessibility panel hidden
If you know any other language beside English and want to help translating the icons names to other languages please leave me a message with your email

FONT SIZE:

changing the font size intenially doesn’t affect the tag

HIGHLIGHT_LINKS:

toggles the class ‘coolaxs_highlight_links’ in all the header tags ( “:focusable,a” )

HIGHLIGHT_TITLES:

toggles the class “coolaxs_highlight_titles_colors” in all the header tags (‘h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6’)

READABLE_FONT:

toggles the class “coolaxs_readable_font”

Keyboard Navigation (Tab / shift Tab icon)

if you want to change things in css – this icon adds the folowing class:
coolaxs_focus_css_activated

Keyboard Navigation Skip Menu:

the “skip to page content” message with fixed position is added to the top of the page
with a css z-index:99 (because the zoom-text magnify glass of the cool-accessibility plug-in should be on top of that)
if there is a

<

nav> tag in the page

so this means that if there is a fixed header on the top of the page its z-index should be less than 99

PREVENT ANIMATION:

1.
// the following suffix should be at every animated gif or static so javascript could toggle between them automatically
var str_normal_image = “_static.gif”;
var str_animated_gif_image = “_animated.gif”;

2.

the plug in also toggles between these 2 embeded video autoplay modes
so the video will not autoplay upon page load

embeded video

<

iframe src=”…?autoplay=1″>
embeded video

<

iframe src=”…?autoplay=0″>

3.
if there is an automatic loop flexslider it stops it:

BRIGHT / DARK CONTRAST

1.
the plug in adds the following classes so you can further modify your css file:
coolaxs_bright_contrast
coolaxs_dark_contrast

2.
there is also an automatic image / background image flipping mode if you prefer by the suffix of the image name

2a.
if you have 3 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast 3. for bright contrast

add to your normal contrast image / background image the following suffix: “_normal_to_both”
so your image name becomes:
imagename_normal_to_both.jpg
(or imagename_normal_to_both.png or imagename_normal_to_both.gif)

and provide in the same directory 2 more images (assuming a jpg image type)
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg

2b.
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast
and for bright contrast you use the normal contrast image
then modify your original image / background image to this:
imagename_normal_to_dark.jpg
(or imagename_normal_to_dark.png or imagename_normal_to_dark.gif)

and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type)
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg

2c.
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for bright contrast
and for dark contrast you use the normal contrast image
then modify your original image / background image to this:
imagename_normal_to_bright.jpg
(or imagename_normal_to_bright.png or imagename_normal_to_bright.gif)

and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type)
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg
