Thanks for pointing this out! Because this is another option for NexusMods accessibility as well. if they can't change front end selections that is, which would be preferable for user experience. W3.org and other accessibile sites have support to change text size, font, and colors that appear on your screen via the browser settings (for those that support it. Firefox does great especially paired with the Firefox Color extension). If you can't read their page as it is, you can go into your browser settings and fix that. The site will respond to your preferences. ETA you can do this with Nexusmods beta currently, but on my settings, many elements disappear because they are so tightly themed. this site is very complicated and blunt tools like this won't be as effective without built in support. For this reason, I appreciate that the design team is taking time to gather feedback. Hopefully we can get it at least workable for most, if not all of us.

Oh thanks for the link! That text is too near fff-appearing on one of my monitors, but not another, though it is too high on all of them for me to read. It shouldn't be so high as to look totaI on my most accurate monitor. I do hope they tweak it in further testing for consistency. - Edit to add, the text in "about" on mod authors page is in fact white. Screenshot: Unless I'm misreading this @mfPixel? The color of this text changed when I poked .prose-lexical in inspector anyway. Even a tiny nudge to #FEFE or #FCFC would keep your contrast high while providing more legibility for the rest of us--especially on the collections page where walls of this text also appear. I can't read those either. -end edit. I agree the contast was too low on legacy for many visual impairments, but the industry lurch toward accommodating one disabled subset at the cost of another results in the same problem. See discord lol. W3.org has good, and I believe free, industry guidance on these issues, including on how to compromise to maintain basic accessibility for the widest number of users. It's possible, though fussy, to have both an aesthetic and widely accessible UI. Please keep at it with the palette Edit to add a link to WAI's luminance guidance. Edit to add another one for luminosity ratio: https://juicystudio.com/services/luminositycontrastratio.php and to plead for backend support for plug-ins such as darkreader that allow us to adjust these things at the user level if we are not provided such a tool natively, and if further edits to the palette are impossible. I find darkreader helps some sites, but it results in horrendous performance issues in many and outright breaks others. And, unlike for those who need universal high contast, native support in OSs for lower contast is still widely lacking. We need those external tools if needs can't be met at a design level. Cheers!

Hello, the scaling works much better now thank you. I still have concerns about the total contrast in some of the body text (in this case, white or near-white on black or near-black). While this works well for headers, total contrast actually impairs legibility in body text and causes eye strain especially for people with common conditions such as astigmatism ( halation, which can lead to severe headaches). Total contrast via white text can also make a busy, challenging UI such as nexusmods almost impossible to read for dyslexics, due to the increased visual chaos caused by light from the text bleeding into the surrounding letters. If there has been some mistake and my profile is now suddenly using subheaders, hence the white text, please disregard; but if it's not, please do adjust the contrast so I and many others can read abouts.

Ahh. In that case, in addition to the contrast tweak, I'd also request the option to avoid any brightly colored tags in the thumbnails as happens for the collections on next.nexusmods.com. They are extremely difficult to read for people like me, both individually and collectively, as a result of distraction/visual chaos factor when many mods with those tags appear in a search. Not only is the yellow and red difficult to read for many vision and visual processing disorders, but they also draw the eye all over and unnecessarily add to the visual chaos factor of a page. Tags are quite useful to have of course, but the legibility of them as they appear on Next is a concern. Alternatively, if you are too deep in the redesign process to allow for these accessibility options, hiring a plugin for the site such as offered by https://userway.org/ would solve many, but not all, barriers users may face when interacting with your site. Contrary to User Way's splash page, plugins do not "solve" web accessibility in the same way that planning from the ground up does, but they do offer much more flexibility if said planning is no longer feasible. Thanks again for taking feedback! Cheers!

I enjoyed the new layout. However as a dyslexic, I have trouble reading on such a high contrast. A slight adjustment can maintain a high contrast for those who need and/or enjoy it, but make life easier for folks like me, as well as for those who experience frequent eye strain. For example, I changed the background from 09090b to 19191c and experienced fewer visual errors. I attached pictures of the edits, as I used an eyedropper on screenshots to measure. This effect can also be achieved by tweaking text colors, but you may find that to be more complicated than simply adjusting the background. Thanks for requesting feedback. Cheers!
