Scroll bar accessibility

[sjd22]

Why are software developers (MediaMonkey now included) seemingly on a mission to indicate the traditional accessible scroll bars with non-offensive up/down arrows to click on?

I have very similar difficulties as somebody who has Parkinson's, due to the type of cerebral palsy I have. As somebody who started using computers when they only had green characters, I am getting really really tired of companies doing away with the normal scroll bars without thinking about people who walk this earth in very different shoes to their own, but whose money is the same colour as everybody else's.

I have received tweets from people who are colour blind and who have also had enough.

Come on Media Monkey, don't be the same as Apple, Postbox and others who refuse to reverse the needless change....

Do the scroll wheel, up/down arrows or page up/down not accommodate in this case?

I should mention that the Metro M skin does have arrows in the scroll bar. Additionally, we have plans to enable customizable font size to improve accessibility in the future (to help visually impaired individuals). If there was an addon you could install that forces the scrollbar to display with up/down arrows, no matter what skin you have selected, would that help?

Aside from those two items (scrollbars and font size), are there any additional issues you have with MediaMonkey's accessibility?
It's true that accessibility hadn't been a high priority while developing MM5, but after getting user feedback, it is on our to-do list to improve MediaMonkey's accessibility for as many people as possible (https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17797). But we're relying on feedback in order to know what to focus on. So I appreciate that you're coming to us with your issues.

No, not when hand and arm coordination are severely affected by any disability......
