The themes use the high contrast media queries to automatically switched on based on the user agent (operating system preferences). There's screenshots, docs, and links to a demo here:

I intend to submit a DRAFT to the MODX Advisory Board that would ensure that the next all-new MODX Manager (4.0) uses similar patterns for high contrast support.]]> dinocorn Apr 23, 2017, 02:14 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=3#dis-post-550209 <![CDATA[Re: High Contrast Theme]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=3#dis-post-543539 Quote from: BobRay at Jul 25, 2016, 04:44 PM
That looks great.

Stupid question: would that same theme be available with black text on white background? Hopefully, the theme is designed so that only two color values would have to be switched in the CSS.

Certainly possible, although that is basically what the "default" theme I am working on is anyways. The reason for white on black is apparently there are some conditions that make even solid black text on a white background illegible. The black fades into the whitespace.

I'm hoping that with MODX Next there isn't going to be one Manager. Or one theme. Or even one JS Framework.]]> dinocorn Jul 25, 2016, 11:49 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=3#dis-post-543539 <![CDATA[Re: High Contrast Theme]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=3#dis-post-543538

Hey, glad to see some movement here ...

Good first step. Beware the placeholder texts, need more contrast.

Best,
Brigitte

Good point. I think those are browsers defaults. I'll have a look.]]> dinocorn Apr 07, 2016, 07:56 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=2#dis-post-540229 <![CDATA[Re: High Contrast Theme]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=2#dis-post-540227

As Travis said in the Twitter feed, we don't have to have a bland theme, it can have some color to it. Some folks may need a bland theme to function, but this is a step in the right direction for sure.

In the next month or so, I will have some free time in the evenings to help with anything you need. Long story short, moved to the Austin, TX area, got a day job and will be wrapping up my freelance clients.]]> cookie_monster_az Mar 26, 2014, 12:00 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=2#dis-post-493591 <![CDATA[Re: High Contrast Theme]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/87473/high-contrast-theme?page=2#dis-post-493468
I haven't made much progress on the high contrast I started lately, but this work by @travis_love on Twitter looks to me to be close to what you were looking for. Do you agree? I'm curious what you think because I think this could make a really great theme.

Thanks very much for your post: it definitely gave me more of a perspective. I never made the connection among mobile first, responsive web design and accessibility!
