[oXygen-user] High contrast accessiblity

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hello,

Unfortunately Oxygen does not fully support high contrast themes 
out-of-the-box. The user interface colors (menus and views) are adjusted 
accordingly, but the editor colors are fixed, independent on the color 
theme.
However, you should be able to achieve good results, by tweaking a few 
options:

1. The white background for Text mode can be changed in Options > 
Preferences, Editor > Edit modes > Text, 'Editor background color'. You 
will most likely want to change all the other colors from that option 
page ('Editor caret color', 'Highlight current line', etc).

2. You will also have to change the color of individual tokens (syntax 
highlight) for XML and other content types in Options > Preferences, 
Editor > Colors. Select each token (Text, Comment, etc) from the XML 
subsection and pick an appropriate color.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.

Regards,
Adrian
