Everything 1.5 A Menu accessibility

Post by Woailizhi »

Hi,
I use Everything and TC together (two great software)! In Everything 1.4, pressing ALT opened the standard-looking Win32 menu like in TC, but in the 1.5 version the menu's code seems to be changed, and something which resembles a context menu opens. This is bad for screenreader users, as our software do not read the current menu header when navigating with arrows.
Can that be fixed?

Thank you for your feedback Woailizhi,

Are you using the dark theme or an accent color for the menu?

-If so, Everything will use a new menubar which does not support accessibility yet (its on my TODO list)

If you are not using the dark theme or an accent color, Everything should use the standard menu with full accessibility support.

To disable the dark theme:
  • In Everything, from the View menu, under the Theme submenu, click Standard.
To disable the accent color:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Fonts and Colors tab on the left.
  • Change Item to: Menu
  • Change Item accent color to: None.
  • Click OK.
