<h3>Advance settings for website developers</h3>
FONT SIZE:
<h3></h3>
changing the font size intenially doesn’t affect the tag
HIGHLIGHT_LINKS:
<h3></h3>
toggles the class ‘coolaxs_highlight_links’ in all the header tags ( “:focusable,a” )
HIGHLIGHT_TITLES:
<h3></h3>
toggles the class “coolaxs_highlight_titles_colors” in all the header tags (‘h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6’)
READABLE_FONT:

<h3></h3>
if you want to change things in css – this icon adds the folowing class: 
 coolaxs_focus_css_activated
Keyboard Navigation Skip Menu:
<h3></h3>
the “skip to page content” message with fixed position is added to the top of the page 
with a css z-index:99 (because the zoom-text magnify glass of the cool-accessibility plug-in should be on top of that) 
 if there is a
<
nav> tag in the page
so this means that if there is a fixed header on the top of the page its z-index should be less than 99
PREVENT ANIMATION:
<h3></h3>
1. 
 // the following suffix should be at every animated gif or static so javascript could toggle between them automatically 
 var str_normal_image = “_static.gif”; 
 var str_animated_gif_image = “_animated.gif”;
2.
the plug in also toggles between these 2 embeded video autoplay modes 
so the video will not autoplay upon page load
embeded video
<
iframe src=”…?autoplay=1″> 
embeded video
<
iframe src=”…?autoplay=0″>
3. 
if there is an automatic loop flexslider it stops it:
BRIGHT / DARK CONTRAST
<h3></h3>
1. 
the plug in adds the following classes so you can further modify your css file: 
coolaxs_bright_contrast 
coolaxs_dark_contrast
2. 
there is also an automatic image / background image flipping mode if you prefer by the suffix of the image name
2a. 
if you have 3 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast 3. for bright contrast
add to your normal contrast image / background image the following suffix: “_normal_to_both” 
so your image name becomes: 
 imagename_normal_to_both.jpg 
 (or imagename_normal_to_both.png or imagename_normal_to_both.gif)
and provide in the same directory 2 more images (assuming a jpg image type) 
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg 
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg
2b. 
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast 
and for bright contrast you use the normal contrast image 
then modify your original image / background image to this: 
imagename_normal_to_dark.jpg 
 (or imagename_normal_to_dark.png or imagename_normal_to_dark.gif)
and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type) 
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg
2c. 
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for bright contrast 
and for dark contrast you use the normal contrast image 
then modify your original image / background image to this: 
imagename_normal_to_bright.jpg 
 (or imagename_normal_to_bright.png or imagename_normal_to_bright.gif)
and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type) 
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg
