Changing colours
Changing the site's background colour can be particularly useful for users who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on the site. Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:
Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Click on 'Tools' at the top of your screen and select 'Internet Options'.
- Select 'Colors' and make changes to text and background colours in the Colors panel.
- Then click on 'Accessibility' and tick Ignore colors specified on web pages.
- Click the 'OK' to select the changes.
- Click the 'OK' to close the box.
Firefox
- Click on 'Tools' at the top of your screen, then select 'Options'.
- Click on 'Fonts & colours' and select the text, background and link colours you want and click 'OK'.
- Click 'OK' to close box.
Netscape Navigator
- Click on 'Edit' at the top of your screen, and then select 'Preferences.
- Open the 'Appearances' menu and select 'Colors'.
- You can set the colour of text and background from here.
- Click on 'OK' to close box.
