Last updated: 28 September 2024

Test book used: Fundamental Accessibility Tests: Visual Adjustments, version 2.0.0 .

These tests were done by Richard Orme.

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.
