I tried to create an account to post somecomment in the discussion page but impossible so I will explain it here. First, in this page, it is said that 5% of male population is colour blind. It is inexact. It is about 8% of the male population and 1% of female population. Yes, woman can be colour blind. Moreover, the colour association table is to simplist and readers will think we are E.T. viewing this :) You should probably had some links to some more serious website about colourblind with some photos. I had created a small tools to test if some choices between background colour and foreground colour feet well and it allow you to see what a clour blind will see (aproximatively as they are lot's of differences between colour blind people). You can get it here : http://shift-working-area.infernal-quack.net/tools_lab/ And youhave lot's of others programs like this for other OS too : http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200709/10_colour_contrast_checking_tools_to_improve_the_accessibility_of_your_design/ I was looking at the Colour Blindness page in the wiki and I found it incomplete.

Thank you. Is there or will there be a suggested standard for behavior of icons in a taskbar when a user “left clicks”, “right clicks”, or double-clicks on the icon — whether these icons are in a “system tray” or other aspect of a taskbar?

Thank you.
