Columns, Feedback Trigger Migraines

Open MarjaE2 opened this issue 3 months ago • 2 comments

I was referred to https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/web-extension-themes for help making message text more readable.

If I try to page down, only the middle pages down, so I get a migraine. If I try to click on "was this helpful?" it animates, which worsens the migraine. It hurts.

If I use reader view, then I get weird gaps in the text, and I don't know what I'm missing here.

Please include a de-animated version: no fancy columns, no zooming on mouseover, no non-scrolling nav elements, none of that.

I'm sorry you've had this issue; migraines are awful!

Unfortunately the layout is not something we can easily change. But you might find it useful to instead view the content in the github repo directly since it will show you just the content (you can minimize the files column on the left so that you only see the content): https://github.com/thunderbird/developer-docs/blob/master/add-ons/web-extension-themes.md

Also if you view the website on a phone, it doesn't show the side panels you see on a desktop browser. So that might be more readable for you.

Does the layout/theme we use not have animation accessibility affordances built in?

Looks like we would need to have prefers-reduced-motion media query.
