Where are the low vision settings in Canvas?

Hi,  @carolyn_fiori_c ‌, this can be enabled in a user's account settings. The instructions are in the High Contrast UI section of What feature options can I enable in my user account as an instructor?  and https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10615-4212717415

Thank you. I have that turned that on but there are no changes in my

account. Thanks.

 @carolyn_fiori_c ‌, I don't normally have the High Contrast UI turned on. I turned it on a moment ago to make these screenshots for comparison.

High Contrast UI turned on:

High Contrast UI turned off:

The two differences that immediately jump out at me are the underlined links and the the darker color for the discussion post number indicators.

I found a solution for chrome

Go to: 

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

switch from disabled to enabled

restart chrome

you may need to change OS settings to dark mode or high contrast for it to work.

Thanks for your responses, Stefanie. That's not much difference. One of my students talked about a different background. Maybe the computer settings need to be changed also. I'll try that.

I was thinking that it might be the browser, but Chrome has the same results.
