accessibility themes do not have a camera icon

[Robert Roth]

THe High Contrast and High Contrast Inverse themes do not have a camera icon, so when you open gnome-screenshot, you will see the missing icon in the window.

If the high contrast icon theme doesn't have an icon, it uses the gnome iconset as fallback so this bug shouldn't be happening. I can't duplicate it as the camera icon next to "Grab the whole desktop" in gnome-screenshot works with High Contrast here.

Are you still experiencing this bug? If so, could you submit a screenshot? Perhaps you could use an alternative screenshot app like shutter.

"... it uses the gnome iconset as fallback so this bug shouldn't be happening."

Does the " gnome iconset as fallback " produce High Contrast icons as "Default"?

If the answer to that is "No, the issue is a basic failure of disability accessibility.

Fall back to low vis or low contrast is a Fail!

Why not just Blow up the icons in low vis until they are legible and recognisable? Or is that not an accessible option either?

A low contrast default icon where a high contrast icon should be is "... a virtual staircase. "

"For example, someone who is unable to navigate stairs becomes very disabled in a town where there are stairs everywhere, but much less so if the stairs were replaced with ramps.....

... An inaccessible computer system can easily become a virtual staircase."

Sorry - but I see no claims made that 12.04 is just a virtual OS - or virtual reality! It is supposedly accessible - but demonstrably not!

If you want me to sign the Ununtu Code Of Conduct - prove it worth my while - which is quite shocking for me to type, given that I have been promoting Ubuntu for five years - and disability accessibility for over 20!

See Bug Report - #964685 "Failed disability accessability standards - 12.04 - Live CD & Installed".

I hate having to do a risk assessment, for public and private sector, and say "Redmond"!

Now I have no option.

In the past - the issues could be fudged!

No More!

do you have a screenshot?

I have also experienced this on my home computer with Precise installed, however I can't reproduce here to take a screenshot on Oneiric, so it looks like a regression. I will try to post a screenshot later today.
