Desktop: Feature request / observation: Accessibility what happened to the latest client?

Created on 14 Nov 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/desktop

I am a huge fan of Nextcloud and have been using it since the early versions, but I am disappointed the latest client (linux) appears to have completely disregarded accessibility?

The previous client had theme fonts, large easily readable, with the notification next to each nextcloud server icon, again easy to read with good contrast.

I have a top bar on the client window, so I can move it around.

Compared to the latest version 3.x I have tiny fonts that I don't appear to be able to change, so I have a full menu of things I never use as they are so tiny.

I am unable to move the client window, without using an alt key mouse move.

I always just go to settings to get the old client back.

Could the latest client have an accessibility re-check please?

Thanks for your consideration.

NC20.x Client Version 3.0.3 (Arch).

That you're raising more than one problem, this is OK it happens on some tickets but I prefer to put a note somewhere so that I remember.

Also asking opinions from our designer if he has ideas on how to move forward on some of the points.

Okay but the one problem is accessibility, I am no designer but the old interface uses my theme and the new one doesn't it dictates tiny fonts everywhere unless I go into settings and it presents me with the old interface.

If the new interface were to respect my theme it would be accessible.

A secondary point is there is no title bar on the client window to move the client around, but that would be back if the client respected my theme :+1:
