Boot Skin For the Blind

Help Required

Thursday, July 19, 2007 by GustheGuideDog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hello I am registered Blind ( I use the computer with the aid of special software ) I have a problem in that I go to a computer club for people with disabilities and other people with different disabilities tend to use my computer rather than one which is adapted for their own needs. Would one or more of you please try to create a Bootskin for me which says something like "This Computer is reserved for VIPs - Visually Impaired People". Thanks in advance

Since changing a boot skin requires additional software, AND the other users could change it, I think it would be more beneficial to have a wallpaper setup for this purpose and special restrictive group policies put in place to prevent someone from changing things.

but As Phonn and xscorpx said it could be better if you made some little change.
I don't know your handicap level. but if you can make 2 users accounts on your computer that will solve many of your problems. One for you as administrator level with password and one guest without password.
In an other hand if like i believe as read you, you use a special software to read (with voice) the text for you that could be problematic.
Well i'll work on your boot at less.

Well i finished them. I said them cause i have made 3 bootskins One exactly like you said and two others with more elements. I explain:
the second i add "Please respect the initial configuration" on bottom right
the 3th i add in more than what i add in 2nd a caution picture on top center.
I send them to you by mail now but i would like to get you approbation to upload them in WC gallery too for others people with the same problems as you. Maybe that could help most people. If you agree with that write it here on comment. If you need something more or to change something let me know here too.
regards
quentin

Hi GustheGuideDog,

Looks like I might be a little late on this but had a little time today after seeing the original topic this morning. Meaning I missed all the conversation on it. Anyway, here is a quick and dirty bootskin I whipped up. You might find the others more to your liking as it does not have yellow text and so forth.

anyhow here is a link to it: VIP Boot

PS: didn't mean to 'step on any toes' to those who had started helping out with this already.
