Points to Remember
The idea of changing the style of a web page is that might help some readers to see the print more clearly and for those using a screen reader it may make reading the text aloud easier.
For some readers these changes may not necessarily be as helpful as having a colour wash over the entire page without any style changes. This requires a different plug-in.
Not all web pages respond to the ATbar controls especially when there is Adobe Flash or text as graphics and other inaccessible text. It is not always possible to change a Style sheet (web development)
