That is better, but red/green is one of the most common types of 
colorblindness, it should probably be some other colors.  Perhaps a way to let 
users pick colors similar to the call highlighting?

This may be a worthwhile read also, they suggest some sample color pallets that 
would work well for everyone with or without disabilities.

I still have to question why the buttons have to move around at all…that seems 
a rather poor “feature” to break accessibility so badly.

Hi Matt,

I agree that the accessibility attributes of the WSJT-X Log QSO dialog have 
been impacted, we feel the changes are necessary. Your suggestion of colour 
coding is a good one and I will make a change to set the background colour of 
those buttons in a consistent manner. Here is an example:

I understand you concerns, does such a change help? I should point out that 
changing the size or shape of the buttons such that they are dissimilar would 
defeat the purpose of the original change, as would making one of then a 
default button. I should also point out that hitting ESC, while the dialog has 
keyboard focus, still dismisses the Log QSO dialog *without logging a QSO" as 
it always has done.
