Re: inquiry: accessibility

Hi Ms. Hahn!

I think what you are describing is doable using Pidgin (with a potential
fallback on writing a plugin or modifying the source code which is under an
open source licence) and that Pidgin should run fine on Windows 8.1 and Windows
10.

That put aside, pidgin being a gtk+ app may not play nice with Windows'
accessibility features and you may wish to look at more native Windows instant
messaging clients such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_IM and
http://www.miranda-ng.org/en/ which may work better for you in this respect.

Please reply to all recipients.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

inquiry: accessibility

[Allicia Hahn]

I've not found the information I'd like to know.
I suspect you are aware, but maybe not, that the free Yahoo Messenger and Aim 
chats have been so stripped down of features that for anyone with any type of 
disability, particularly visual, they are no longer universally friendly chat 
programs.

We are on the hunt for a free chat program that will allow us to modify it to 
our needs. 
We need to be able to use large fonts, colored text, and optional change of 
color backgrounds (i.e white text, black background and vice-versa). We all 
have visual and physical challenges, and we rely heavily on using online chats 
to stay in contact. 
Is any of this possible with your program. We also have either windows 8.1 or 
windows 10 OS, so is Pidgin compatible with them?

Thank you for taking the time to read this inquiry, and we look forward to 
hearing from you.Sincerely,
A. Hahn.
