Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 - User comments/tips/reguests thread?

Of all the desktops on GNU/Linux, I'd say universal access is most mature in  
GNOME.  Mate accessibility has come a long way, very quickly!  LXDE and XFCE  
are usable with orca screen reader for access, but I'm not sure about  
magnification or on-screen keyboards.  I'm using Orca on Trisquel 6.0.1 and  
have tried it on the lighter desktops.  I have a friend who is using Mate and  
likes the accessibility he gets with Orca.  If LXPanel or XFCEPanel applets,  
notifications and login greeters can be made accessible, I'd be all for  
making one of these the new Trisquel default.  I'm not sure GNOME flashback  
is supported in 3.10.  The so-called Classic view, done with shell  
extensions, is not an accessible option, though the shell, itself, is  
accessible.  I'll leave comments on visual stylistic elements to those who  
benefit from them; they seem to have no effect on my using the system.
