@gnome Can you please add alttext for your graphics? Otherwise the irony of posting about accessibility in an inaccessible way kind of questions the seriousness of the effort.

I heard about the new accessibility stack, that's cross platforms, any apps that have this gtk version so I can test it?

@patricus GTK 4.18 is technically accessible on windows through @accesskit backend. However @gnome is only providing platform tools. The hope is that some 3rd party developers will pick this and build some GTK based apps that will also be accessible on windows.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online Do you know if this works on Windows now, because my understanding was that GTK's Windows accessibility wasn't working on GTK4.

@pvagner @gnome @accesskit @modulux wonder if there's an app I could test already.
