Accessible Login

The GNOME Desktop includes an Accessible Login feature. The Accessible Login feature enables users to:

  • Log in to the desktop even if the user cannot easily use the screen, mouse, or keyboard in the usual way.
  • Launch assistive technologies at login time by associating a user action with an assistive technology application. The user can perform the user action from the standard keyboard, or from a keyboard, pointing device, or switch device that is attached to the USB or PS/2 mouse port. These user actions are called gestures.
  • Change the visual appearance of the login dialog before the user logs in, for example, to use a high contrast theme for better visibility.
