Windows is not accesible even to people without disdabilities. I have to carefully select the background color or else i will end up with a light text colour on light background or dark text colour on dark background. Or to search half of hour for the cursor in a Word document because Microsoft decided that blinking the cursor is so 80s and the cursor is hidden.


Add to that the horrible icon only interface that they are perpetrating in Windows 11. Just horrible UX.


Doesn't Windows have a high contrast mode?


What if you want your own colors and your own level of medium contrast that works well on your specific display and lighting conditions?


Use an alternative Windows DE, I guess (are those still around?). Or just use Linux.

No OS is as flexible as Linux and it can't be, since desktop Linux frequently doesn't offer support so you can do whatever you want to it but it's on you to fix it.


Yes it does.
