<h3>Advance settings for website developers</h3>
<p>FONT SIZE:</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>changing the font size intenially doesn’t affect the  tag</p>
<p>HIGHLIGHT_LINKS:</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>toggles the class ‘coolaxs_highlight_links’ in all the header tags ( “:focusable,a” )</p>
<p>HIGHLIGHT_TITLES:</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>toggles the class “coolaxs_highlight_titles_colors” in all the header tags (‘h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6’)</p>
<p>READABLE_FONT:</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>toggles the class “coolaxs_readable_font”</p>
<p>Keyboard Navigation (Tab / shift Tab icon)</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>if you want to change things in css – this icon adds the folowing class:<br />
 coolaxs_focus_css_activated</p>
<p>Keyboard Navigation Skip Menu:</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>the “skip to page content” message with fixed position is added to the top of the page<br />
with a css z-index:99 (because the zoom-text magnify glass of the cool-accessibility plug-in should be on top of that)<br />
 if there is a</p>
<p><</p>
<p>nav> tag in the page</p>
<p>so this means that if there is a fixed header on the top of the page its z-index should be less than 99</p>
<p>PREVENT ANIMATION:</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>1.<br />
    // the following suffix should be at every animated gif or static so javascript could toggle between them automatically<br />
    var str_normal_image = “_static.gif”;<br />
    var str_animated_gif_image = “_animated.gif”;</p>
<p>2.</p>
<p>the plug in also toggles between these 2 embeded video autoplay modes<br />
so the video will not autoplay upon page load</p>
<p>embeded video</p>
<p><</p>
<p>iframe src=”…?autoplay=1″><br />
embeded video</p>
<p><</p>
<p>iframe src=”…?autoplay=0″></p>
<p>3.<br />
if there is an automatic loop flexslider it stops it:</p>
<p>BRIGHT / DARK CONTRAST</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>1.<br />
the plug in adds the following classes so you can further modify your css file:<br />
coolaxs_bright_contrast<br />
coolaxs_dark_contrast</p>
<p>2.<br />
there is also an automatic image / background image flipping mode if you prefer by the suffix of the image name</p>
<p>2a.<br />
if you have 3 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast 3. for bright contrast</p>
<p>add to your normal contrast image / background image the following suffix: “_normal_to_both”<br />
so your image name becomes:<br />
  imagename_normal_to_both.jpg<br />
 (or imagename_normal_to_both.png or imagename_normal_to_both.gif)</p>
<p>and provide in the same directory 2 more images (assuming a jpg image type)<br />
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg<br />
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg</p>
<p>2b.<br />
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for dark contrast<br />
and for bright contrast you use the normal contrast image<br />
then modify your original image / background image to this:<br />
imagename_normal_to_dark.jpg<br />
 (or imagename_normal_to_dark.png or imagename_normal_to_dark.gif)</p>
<p>and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type)<br />
imagename_dark_contrast.jpg</p>
<p>2c.<br />
if you have only 2 images – 1 for normal contrast 2. for bright contrast<br />
and for dark contrast you use the normal contrast image<br />
then modify your original image / background image to this:<br />
imagename_normal_to_bright.jpg<br />
 (or imagename_normal_to_bright.png or imagename_normal_to_bright.gif)</p>
<p>and provide in the same directory 1 more image (assuming a jpg image type)<br />
imagename_bright_contrast.jpg</p>
<p>List of all added JavaScript classes</p>
<h3></h3>

My Calendar – Accessible Event Manager

Great plugin - I tried many calendars for my class schedule and this was the only one that WORKED! I love all the detailed setup options for developers, with the ability to change text and colors. Haven't played with the templates yet but I'm excited to do so. 

Had an issue and developer was super-responsive, resolving it and fixing with care. Thank you!

Finally - A Robust Calendar that WORKS!


This is a great plugin! I have used this on many different kinds of sites and after several years there has yet to be a problem I have to solve with a calendar that this plugin cannot handle!
