Comment 5 for bug 1400580

I have been hesitant to add a comment to this bug. Personally as stated, I have impaired eye-sight although, I remain fully functional for now with a few adjustments. I have a brother that is more encumbered who, is legally blind and, needs many more enhancements to cope with computer use. He is helped with compositing for Zoom Effect & Magnifier and uses <xcalib -i -a> on start up as I. I am cognizant of the importance of fixing this bug for Unity8 users around the globe. Not all people are going to know of the alternatives available to them within Linux. So, I am impeaching for the resolution of this within Unity8 for, many more users than we two brothers. The availability of Unity users especially, casual users needing these features, (red-shift, high-contrast, and possibly including, the zooming and magnifying effects also) within Unity8 as gui is, much needed for these people who, have much less ability to find solutions because of their sight limitations and casual computing use.

I believe work on Unity8 is being done now, to bring it to functionality as the Ubuntu X server replacement. I think now, should also be the time to build in these important gui features.

Thank you.
