Hey, I’m Chirag Shah working on some accessibility features for adium.

⌘+ Increases text size.
⌘- Decreases text size.
What are you all going to implement?
I guess speech things? Special navigation? message styles?
For the zoom function: often just enlarging the text is not clear, it would be nice if images would also enlarge (like the Opera browser does when you press the + button). When you only enlarge tekst it often doesn’t fit in the space it hass been given.
thumbs up anyway, I think it’s quite important to let everyone enjoy Instant messaging with Adium!

Hey twopeak, thanks for the feedback.
These are the accessessibility features i’m currently working on:
-Improve the text zoom: Simple make the hotkeys accessibile whenever a chat window is active.
-Improve the contact info window: Inform user if they have the status text box, or profile text box selected.
-Inform user of selected buddy’s status: If they click on a buddy from their contact list, It would state the buddy’s name (this was completed by someone else a while ago), and the buddy’s status along with how long they have been idle.
-Inform user when their buddy is typing: Currently it displays a pencil when a buddy is typing, and i’m going to notify NSAccessibility when this happens.
It’s a very nice project!
I hope you will be able to do all of it, specially the typing function.
