Well, sometimes reinventing the wheel isn't making something new but a shift of current paradigms, like how we still use vhs player/tape deck buttons as icons in operating systems. For Sonar/Vinux, I was behind the scene for a while, I jumped in when they a merge or a collaboration between the two was put public but I leave it be, I can't give out straight my ideas and they don't catch that I may have ideas to fix all this mess once and for all, just found how I could achieve my path so I may try soon.(either live-build or refracta) I put Colord in a tray, it could answer some apps design issues but for the custom desktop I plan to build, it will be useless by default. Your ideas are noted, I may have a trick in my sleeve to implement one later quite easily. 2017-10-06 5:11 UTC−04:00, Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Howdy Mike, > >> I'm conceiving a Linux distribution with accessibility > Awsome :) idea!
