What This Does
The Display panel holds five tools. Each one changes how a page looks, so it is easier to see.
That is a different job from making text easier to read. Fonts, spacing and text to speech live in other panels.
You can turn on as many of these as you want at once. They are separate settings.
Who is This For?
This panel helps if:
- You have low vision
- You lose the mouse pointer on a busy page
- Pale grey text on a white background is hard to make out
- You cannot tell which words on a page are links
- You want the page bigger without changing anything else
A Guide for Each Part
| Control | What it does | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| High contrast | Increases the difference between the text and the background. You pick a style: Increased Contrast, Greyscale, Inverted Color, Inverted Greyscale or Yellow on Black. | High contrast |
| Highlight links | Marks every link with a striped bar, so you do not have to rely on color. | Highlight links |
| Saturation | Makes the colors on the page stronger. | Saturation |
| Cursor size | Makes the mouse pointer bigger. Four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra large. | Cursor size |
| Magnifier | Scales the whole page up or down. | Magnifier |
Three Things Worth Knowing
Saturation only adds color. It cannot take color away. At the lowest setting the page looks normal. At the highest, the colors are four times as strong. To remove color instead, pick the Greyscale style in High contrast.
The Magnifier goes both ways. The slider runs from -100% to +100% in steps of 10%. 0% is the normal page size, and anything below 0% makes the page smaller. It scales the whole page, so it is not a lens that follows your pointer.
Cursor size is free. It used to be a Pro feature. Every one of the five tools in this panel is now in the free version.
