Hello,

In the name of usability I belieive that a native hight contrast theme would gain you cred. as a software company.

It will, i believe, also by its existence perhaps enlighten one or two web admins that there are more to it then just how you self perceive the world. But most of all, I don't believe there are many out there who will put time into it, even if it is as simple to use the theme-maker-thingamajig. But if included it could be easily made availble, hence make the web more usable for more people.

,,,High-Contrast...
Does that mean what I think.... eye-gouging and glaring?
Offensive to the Eye... Like the Pink ACP Menus on Blue(guh)?

It is for the visually impaired, and most often som sort of inverted theme. You have it in windows, os x, iOS, android and so on. Many websites has this as an alternative as well. It is simple, the more that are able to read the more people can access the site. Not everyone want's to have everything read to them via screen readers, and crappy code most often mutulates that experience as well.

Images has the alt-tag for example, so that people who don't se images can make out the context anyway or people who have disabled image view in their system.

Usability?
