Accessibility

The Negative plugin provides immediate, high-contrast windows for the visually impaired by inverting the colors of individual windows, or all windows at once.

<!> This plugin requires that you have the GL_ARB_fragment_program extension. It must be available with your graphics card, and your X Server must expose it.

Usage

Enable/Disable [Focused] Window Negative

<Super>n

Enable/Disable Screen Negative

Configuration

Window Matching is used to determine which windows are affected or unaffected by Negative:

  • Neg Windows - By default, any (ie. all) focused windows will be affected.

  • Exclude Windows - By default, only windows of type=Desktop are excluded from the effect.

Workaround if unsupported
