🌥️ Winter is over

It’s finally feeling a bit warmer after what has felt like a long winter. Funnily enough, this month’s articles come with the two longest titles in my back catalog!

  1. Windows high contrast mode and focus outlines or: My focus indicators were inaccessible
  2. [The difference between Increased Contrast Mode and Windows High Contrast Mode (Forced Colours Mode)](The difference between Increased Contrast Mode and Windows High Contrast Mode (Forced Colours Mode))

From the archives

During the writing of the two articles this month I got to thinking about how inconsistent, buggy, or limited browser support for CSS features can have a big impact on accessibility. I’ve written a lot of articles over the years, and as soon as I started drafting something I realised I’d already covered the topic!

My post covers the <select> element but the principle also applies to the box-shadow workaround for Safari’s outline issues I wrote about in March’s first article: Form styling limitations are an accessibility issue.

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some more interesting articles and videos from around the web that I read during March:

Anyway, here’s to the warmer weather, and I’ll see you again at the end of April 🌷
