#FreeBSD provides the Ports Collection, a convenient way to install applications. Some ports allow users to configure options before building and installing. By default, this configuration is done through an interactive menu in the terminal.
To improve readability and #Accessibility especially for users with low vision or color blindness, it's important to offer simple and customizable color options. These features have recently been implemented and documented in the preview version of the FreeBSD Accessibility Handbook:

The next step is to extend these features to all terminal-based graphical components.
I'd love to hear from you:
Do you use any accessibility features in the terminal?
Which color-related assistive technologies make the biggest difference in your daily workflow?
Together, we can make FreeBSD more accessible for everyone. #ThePowerForEveryone #FreeBSD #Accessibility #OpenSource #LowVision #ColorBlindness #AssistiveTechnology #AccessibilityMatters
FreeBSD offers a wide range of accessibility features for users with low vision. Some of these features are built directly into the system, while others are available as installable packages, including:
Window scaling, Visual feedback to locate the mouse cursor, Highly legible fonts tailored for low vision, High-contrast themes, Magnification tools, and much more.
