Accessibility suggestions
I have a few more suggestions for the "VoiceOver" target (the one I use all the time).
![VoiceOver selected](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/103744/189501894-7423cfe1-e737-4d4f-bccd-92b721de21ac.png)
- Maybe simply calling it VoiceOver wasn't the best idea. It may sound confusing to some users. It's just the target indicator that mimicks the style of the VoiceOver cursor. What about calling it High-contrast or High-contrast (inspired by VoiceOver cursor)?
- When tabbing through the found targets, the active one gets a colour overlay. To some people who are visually impaired (including me), that might be not always be clear enough (depending on the situation). For the high-contrast target indicator, it might make more sense to colour-invert the content within the target indicator. That way, it is always very clear which is being focused.
- Similarly to VoiceOver on the Mac, maybe you can consider adding "target magnification" so it becomes even easier to see which one is being focused (as an option).
Together with the "spacebar to smart zoom" option that is being considered, Wooshy could really become an very useful accessibility utility for people who have trouble using the mouse, have trouble seeing etc. Maybe you could also market it like that 😉
2. For the high-contrast target indicator, it might make more sense to colour-invert the content within the target indicator.
do you mean color-inverting Wooshy's Primary Target colors? or the window behind? because i don't think i can color-invert the window behind.
No, not the window behind :) Not Wooshy's target colour either, but the actual content of what is inside of the target. So this could (as an option) replace the target color overlay. Would you like me to create a mockup to illustrate what I mean?
yeah i'm gonna need a nice drawing 😅️ thanks.
