            Bug ID: 379486
           Summary: Konqueror UI is hard to use for people with limited
                    eyesight.
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 5.0.97
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konq-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: R030t1@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Hello,

I am not the one experiencing the problem, but there was a user (who wished=
 to
not submit a report themselves) that was having trouble using the newest
version of Konquerer due to UI changes and poor eyesight.

    2. The menu shows no icons, only text; buttons like open new tab/close
    current tab show no icons, making difficult to guess.

    <...>

    7. Konqueror Introduction page, no icons; unless I hover over them,=20
    hyperlinked titles shown in dark grey over a blue background.  I know m=
y=20
    eye sight is not as good as it used to be, but this is really akin to=20
    usability sabotage.

This was, of course, accompanied by other complaints, but I feel this issue=
 is
important enough to take out of context for submission to this tracker.

If I had to guess I think the issue stems from the adoption, knowingly or
unknowingly, of what is now called "material design"*. While I quite like m=
ost
interfaces produced using design guidelines that one could say are material
design please take note that it is very very easy to produce incomprehensib=
le
UIs following Google's guidelines (and Google has done some of this).



* Material design actually existed for a number of years before Google star=
ted
using it under that name. It was "created" by FOSS projects who didn't have=
 any
artists that decided to draw colored rectangles with text in them.
