• VoiceOver is unique because it’s not a standalone screen reader. It’s deeply integrated in macOS and all the built-in apps on Mac. And as developers update their apps to take advantage of the accessibility interfaces provided by Apple, their apps can start working with VoiceOver right away.
  • In most cases, you should then see Using DHCP in the Configure IPv4 pop-up menu, along with your Mac’s IP address, subnet mask, router, DNS server, and search-domain information.
  • Mac App Store is the simplest way to find and download apps for your Mac. To download apps from the Mac App Store, you need a Mac with OS X 10.6.6 or later.

Color and Contrast

Don’t rely solely on color to differentiate between objects or communicate important information. If your app uses color to convey information, be sure to provide text labels or glyph shapes so color blind users can understand it as well.

There are no camera settings. Apple just didn’t bother to build cam settings. It’s a utility that should be included with an “expensive mac”. The camera itself is not good quality.

Prefer system colors for text. When you color text using the colors defined by UIColor or NSColor, the text responds correctly to accessibility settings such as Invert Colors and Increase Contrast.

Be aware of color blindness.App to open vsd file on mac. Many colorblind people find it difficult to distinguish blue from orange, for example, or red from green (and either red or green from gray). Avoid using these color combinations as the only way to distinguish between two states or values. For example, instead of using red and green circles to indicate offline and online, you could use a red square and a green circle. Some image-editing software includes tools that can help you proof for colorblindness.

Respond correctly to Invert Colors. People can turn on Invert Colors when they prefer to view items on a dark background. In the Smart Invert mode of Invert Colors, images, video, and full-color icons (such as app icons and nontemplate images) don't invert, and dark UI stays dark.

Use strongly contrasting colors to improve readability. Many factors affect the perception of color, including font size and weight, color brightness, screen resolution, and lighting conditions. When you increase color contrast of visual elements like text, glyphs, and controls, you can help more people use your app in more situations. To find out if the contrast of adjacent colors in your UI meets minimum acceptable levels, use an online color calculator based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) color contrast formula.

Use text size to help determine contrast. In general, smaller or lighter-weight text needs to have greater contrast to be legible. Use the following values for guidance.
