Dynamics GP 13 and display changes for eye sight issues

Posted on by 445

Our customer has an eye sight issue that requires them to change their windows settings to high contrast theme.  In turn, this changes the backgrounds in GP but the text stays the same so when he types, he cannot see the font.  It is the same color as the background.

How do we offer a solution to a user with an eye sight impairment that requires this setting?  Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Althea

    It currently does not have a single user mode, unless you turn colour themes on and then disable all other users.

    I am looking to making it more VI friendly next build. This would include per user settings.

    Just found out his main issue is when typing data into fields.  The background is darker so he cannot see the dark text he is typing in.  I am going to download and test if we can make field backgrounds lighter and only for one user.  Or text lighter for only one user.  Thanks!

    You can use without keys if the sample company is only company Installed. Otherwise just install and start a free 30 day trial.

    I will look at what is needed to make GP better for VI.

    At this stage it does not help for home page, but I might have a solution for that... Need to do some testing.

    Hi David,

    I was wondering about using the power tools as I have used them in the past, but wasn't sure they would help on the home page.  Can these be installed and tested in Fabrikam without keys?

    Thanks,

    Althea

    GP Power Tools might be able to help. You can change the colours on a company basis to something that works better with Windows high contrast mode but is still good for normal users.

    I will also look at offering per user settings for VI users in a future build.

    Getting them onto the webclient may help from a font scaling point of view, but not certain about the background.

    Also - they will be upgrading to GP2018R2 in the next couple of months so if there is a solution in GP18R2, that would also help.  Please help on this - hoping there are solutions for visually impaired for GP.
