DESCRIPTION:The classic ‘blank page’ in word processors and standard us
 er interfaces are not neutral: for users with low vision\, photophobia or 
 specific learning difficulties\, poor management of contrast and typograph
 y represents a genuine digital accessibility barrier.\n\nThis talk explore
 s the ‘behind the scenes’ of visual accessibility\, using LibreOffice 
 as a reference suite and examining the [official](https://wiki.documentfou
 ndation.org/Accessibility/Accessibility-dev/it) development specifications
  for colour and font management. We will analyse how the software interact
 s with the operating system to automatically detect and inherit ‘High Co
 ntrast’ settings\, dynamically adapting the interface without requiring 
 complex manual configuration by the user.\n\nWe will delve into the render
 ing logic designed for maximum readability: from the automatic removal of 
 fill colours and text in Impress and Draw when used in high-contrast mode\
 , to the distinct highlighting of the current row and column in Calc\, rig
 ht through to the forced overwriting of document background colours. We wi
 ll also see how the architecture enables scalable resizing of interface fo
 nts and the disabling of animations to reduce cognitive load.
