Display & Text Size

Bold Font

Apply bold font weight to all text throughout the app for improved readability.

When to Use:

  • Difficulty reading standard font weights
  • Need higher text contrast
  • Prefer bolder typography
  • Working in bright environments

Font Size Adjustment

Adjust the size of text, icons, and UI elements throughout the app.

Configuration:

  1. Enable accessibility settings
  2. Use Font size adjustment slider
  3. Drag slider left to decrease size
  4. Drag slider right to increase size
  5. Changes apply immediately

Slider Range:

  • Small A (left) = Smaller text
  • Large A (right) = Larger text
  • Default position in middle

What's Affected:

  • All text content
  • Button labels
  • Navigation elements
  • Table headers and data
  • Form fields and labels

Recommendations:

  • Start with default and adjust incrementally
  • Test readability across different pages
  • Consider your typical working distance from screen

Color Blindness Settings

Apply color filters to help users with color vision deficiencies distinguish between colors in the app.

Available Filters

Off

No color filter applied. Default app colors displayed.

Use Case: No color vision deficiency or testing different filter options.

Red/Green Filter (Protanopia)

Filter for protanopia (red-blind) color vision deficiency.

Characteristics:

  • Difficulty distinguishing red and green
  • Red appears darker
  • Most common type of red-green color blindness

How It Helps:

  • Adjusts red and green tones for better differentiation
  • Increases contrast between similar colors
  • Makes status indicators more visible

Green/Red Filter (Deuteranopia)

Filter for deuteranopia (green-blind) color vision deficiency.

Characteristics:

  • Difficulty distinguishing green and red
  • Green appears more red
  • Common form of red-green color blindness

How It Helps:

  • Adjusts green and red tones
  • Improves color differentiation
  • Enhances UI element visibility

Blue/Yellow Filter (Tritanopia)

Filter for tritanopia (blue-blind) color vision deficiency.

Characteristics:

  • Difficulty distinguishing blue and yellow
  • Blue appears green
  • Yellow appears violet or gray
  • Rare form of color blindness

How It Helps:

  • Adjusts blue and yellow tones
  • Improves contrast between cool and warm colors
  • Makes blue UI elements more distinguishable

Gray (Achromatopsia)

Filter for achromatopsia (total color blindness) or strong preference for grayscale.

Characteristics:

  • No color perception (complete color blindness)
  • See only shades of gray
  • Very rare condition

How It Helps:

  • Converts entire interface to grayscale
  • Relies on contrast and brightness differences
  • Removes color as differentiating factor

Filter Intensity Adjustment

Fine-tune the strength of the selected color filter.

Configuration:

  1. Select a color filter (not available for "Off")
  2. Use intensity slider
  3. Adjust from subtle to strong effect
  4. Changes apply in real-time

Intensity Scale:

  • Lower values = Subtle filter effect
  • Higher values = Stronger filter effect
  • Displayed as decimal (e.g., 1.20)

Recommendations:

  • Start with moderate intensity
  • Increase if colors still hard to distinguish
  • Decrease if filter too strong or distracting
  • Test across different pages and charts

Example:

Filter: Green/Red Filter (Deuteranopia)
Intensity: 1.20

Result: Moderate filter strength for improved
red-green differentiation

Summary

Accessibility Settings make the loyalty program app more usable for merchants with visual impairments or preferences. Enable accessibility features to apply bold fonts, adjust text size, and use color filters for various types of color blindness. The font size slider increases or decreases all text and UI elements. Five color filter options help users with different color vision deficiencies distinguish colors in the interface, each with adjustable intensity. All settings save automatically and apply immediately throughout the app.
