Summary
App version 3.0.0 tested on Windows 11. Thorium Reader has good support for visual adjustments. All the fundamental tests are passed except for support for the Windows High Contrast themes. Several high contrast themes are provided within the app itself, so there is limited negative impact on the user who requires this visual presentation. The app also offers extensive options for alignment, column display, and reduced motion. Furthermore, in text formatting the user can adjust margin, word, letter, paragraph and line spacing. The user can select from any of the fonts installed on the device by typing its name in the text formatting dialogue.
| Test ID | Name | Description | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| visual-010 | Change font size | Use the controls available in the application or else in the operating system to change (increase/decrease) the size of the font. The font size change should apply uniformly to all the book content including headings, regular paragraphs, list items, and the text content of tables. | Pass | Changing font size is achieved via settings/text/font size, then moving a slider control. The change is visible in the dimmed window behind the panel. |
| visual-110 | Change background and foreground color | Change background and foreground colour (May be through reading system feature or through OS settings). | Pass | Changing color is via settings/theme. Three options are provided, neutral, sepia and night. |
| visual-210 | Change brightness | Use the controls available in the application or else in the operating system to change (increase/decrease) the screen brightness. | Pass | Changing brightness is achieved using the hardware or OS adjustment. |
| visual-310 | Apply high contrast system configuration | The reading system interface and book content except images should respect the high contrast mode (invert colors) if present in the Operating System. | Fail | The Thorium Reader app does not respect the Windows high contrast themes. |
| visual-410 | Magnify the User Interface(UI) | Use the controls available in the application or else in the operating system to magnify the Reading System screen. All aspects of the User Interface such as menus, sidebars, pop-up windows, dialog boxes and search box should get magnified uniformly. | Pass | This is achieved using the Windows Magnifier or a third-party app. No keyboard conflicts were identified. |

| visual-550 | Viewing MathML | The block and inline math expressions below are in the MathML format. Check if the math expressions inline and between the paragraphs are displayed correctly. Use the controls available in the application or else in the operating system to change (increase/decrease) the size of the font. Check if the math expressions also change size in proportion. Change background and foreground color (may be through reading system feature or through OS settings). Check if the math expressions reflect the changed color settings. | Pass | The math expressions are displayed as expected, and adjust appropriately when the text size and colors are changed. |
| visual-710 | Enlarge SVG Image | Check if this SVG format image displayed below this paragraph can be enlarged. | Pass | The SVG image is displayed as expected. Selecting the image results in a colored border being displayed.
