Barry,
Are you planning to attend this one? I am extremely interested. But not
sure if I can go alone. :(
Let me know.

Oh Mistakenly I have sent the email to the whole lug-list. Sorry for that.
However, I'd be very happy if someone who is planning to attend this event
can give me a ride to Duke.
Thank You so much.

Subject: Help Please: Firefox, ImageMagick, nano, and ls.
Message-ID: <CAO2sX33HBqGkTia42V_YxvZ9jZFXkCRwM=cTSTP7CEBCnZhMFA@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
As I am mentioned in an earlier e-mail, I am working on configuring my
computer for low-vision use, and I have found solutions to most of the
problems I have been having, but I have some specific questions:
Firefox:
Problem 1: Increasing the fonts size for my GTK theme causes the some
of ther preference dialogs to be larger than my screen, with anything
beyond the screen edge being rendered inaccessible.
Problem 2: I want to configure Firefox to display all text as size 32
monospace. Firefox's minimal font size option maxes at 24, and even
with the "Allow Websites to override my font settings" option
disabled, it seems some sites have larger or smaller fonts sizes. I
would like to be able to get a consistent font size and not have to
use the zoom feature to adjust individual pages.
Problem 3: The increased font sizes make some websites difficult to
read by either forcing horizontal scrolling or causing individual
columns of tables to word wrap excessively. Some of the worst
offenders are online messages boards and websites with menus that run
down the side of the page. For some sites, I have solved layout
problems by manually loading their mobile versions, but some websites
only allow loading of their mobile sites if I use and Agent Switcher
to make my browser act like a mobile browser. Are there any extensions
that provide tools for customizing how individual websites are
displayed.
Probld 4: Is there a way to enable Right Click > Save Image As when
displaying images on webpages is disabled?
ImageMagick:
Does the convert command have options for reducing color images to
grayscale or grayscale images to black-and-white? If not, are their
separate commands within ImageMagick to do these from the command
line?
ls and nano:
Anyone know how to customize or disable syntax highlighting in these
programs? The syntax highlighting is useful, but some of the colors
used by default are hard for me to read on the black background I have
set in my terminal emulator.

Unfortunately, I can't answer the questions about Firefox, but here's the
questions I can answer:
ImageMagick:
Just pass the -monochrome option to convert in order to make images black
and white.
ls and nano:
ls' syntax highlighting is defined by the environment variable LS_COLORS
and there are a number of websites and tools for generating a new color
scheme for it. In order to disable colors, however, just run `ls
--color=none`.
nano I'm less familiar with. It would appear the syntax highlight is
typically defined by /usr/share/nano/*.nanorc and included in ~/.nanorc, so
you could try tweaking the files themselves or removing their includes. A
quick google suggests that Alt-Y will enable/disable syntax highlighting as
well.
Hope this helps!
Michael
