Choosing Color, Contrast, and Size

Today, we're going to check out the Display options in the Accessibility menu. This is where we'll find some great features that let us personalize how our Mac shows colors and contrast, along with the size of the mouse pointer and cursor. Let's see how these Display options and the Accessibility menu work.

Our first step is to head over to the Apple menu. So let's click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of the screen, and then we'll select System Settings, or on some Macs, the menu option might be System Preferences.

Next, we'll select Accessibility, which we can find right here in the left-hand column. Okay, now our Accessibility pane is open.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you, and don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away, at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences, so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge, and last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
