Customise radio buttons without compromising accessibility - 0 views

  • go with option 3, a good ole’ opacity: 0 coupled with a position: absolute. Hidden but still focusable, well-supported across browsers. Just what we’re looking for.
  • opacity: 0
  • the label has to come after the input element in the source order
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • sad state of affairs when it comes to browser support for clip-path.

    "Customised radio buttons and checkboxes are a common design pattern found on the web, and it doesn't take too much to ensure that your beautifully designed toggles are still navigable via keyboard."

Make HTML messages readable in Apple Mail | 456 Berea Street - 0 views

  • I’ve been using this for years and can’t understand why it isn’t available in Mail’s GUI. Here’s what to do: Quit Mail.app Open Terminal.app Enter defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE and press enter (toggle it back by changing TRUE to FALSE) Open Mail.app View an HTML message and marvel at the readable plain text The catch is that this only works for messages that actually contain a plain text alternative, which far from all HTML email does.
  • Specify the minimum font size Apple Mail uses for HTML messages As a fallback for the messages that do not contain a plain text alternative it is useful to make sure that the text at least has a readable size: Quit Mail.app Open Terminal.app Enter defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 13 in the Terminal window and press enter Open Mail.app View an HTML message and marvel at the readable font size You can change the font size to whatever suits your eyes. Apply both of these and you should be able to read most of the HTML email that you receive.
