Known Issues for Accessibility

Customized display settings not inherited during installation.

The following display customizations are not inherited by Sybase Control Center installer dialogs:

• Large user-selected fonts do not affect installer message font size, and the installer message font size remains the same.

• Narrator screen-reader application announces wizard pages, headers, and typed characters, but does not announce any information within the windows, license agreements, or menus.

• High-contrast and color settings affect installer messages, headers, menus, and buttons, but they do not affect the background color of the main wizard panes. Since the background color of wizard panes is not changed to high contrast mode, some messages on it are illegible.

Workaround: Install Sybase Control Center using console mode.
