VSC A11Y

About us

This is a project made by Filip, Leon and Mateo.
We are from a Croatian informatics and robotics club called C.H.A.O.S. Josipovac.

What it's about

A11Y is an abbreviation for accessibility because there are 11 letters between a and y.
Its a VS Code accessibility extension with daltonism-friendly themes, customizable syntax highlighting, and readability improvements for low-vision users.

Our project offers the following:

Feature	Explanation
Daltonist-friendly syntax highlighting	highlights errors and warnings with adjustable colors
Daltonist-friendly themes	Built-in color themes for most common types of daltonists
Adjustable minimum terminal font size	QOL feature so you dont have to dig around in vsc settings

Showcase

Daltonist themes showcase

The extension includes both dark and light themes.
Here we'll only showcase the dark ones in pictures.
The syntax highlighting does NOT change with the selected theme.

Normal - for people who dont have daltonism
Normal

Deuteranopia - red/green and yellow/brown confusion

Protanopia - confusing a lot of colors with red

Tritanopia - blue/green and yellow/violet confusion

How to use

When you install the extension you immediately get the themes with it.
The syntax highlighting is also enabled immediately and you get a new sidebar window to adjust the colors.
The same window is where you can adjust the minimum terminal font size. Another window is for checking if you are a daltonist.

The syntax highlighting does NOT change with the selected theme.
