Accessibility
For organizations with visually impaired or low-vision users, Apricot Administrators can customize screen colors and contrast levels across an entire Apricot database.
Individual users may also change the screen colors and contrast levels they see when they log in to their own user account.
Color Schemes
- "My Apricot Color Scheme" will make changes to the background color for sections of the database available under the My Apricot tab - viewing active bulletins, searching for records, data entry, running reports, etc.
- "Administrator Color Scheme" will make changes to the background color for sections of the database available under the Administrator tab - form design, report builder, user management, etc.
Color Scheme - Black on White
In the Black on White color scheme, backgrounds are either full black or full white. Text is either full black or full white, depending on the background color.
Some objects - like icons or photos - will not be affected by the change in color scheme and will retain their original color.
If you use HTML label fields or HTML code with colored text, these colors will all appear as black or white.
Color Scheme - Black on Yellow
In the Black on Yellow color scheme, backgrounds are either full black or full white. Text is either full black or full white, depending on the background color.
Any field that is available for entering data is yellow.
Color Scheme - Blue and Mint
The Blue and Mint color scheme, resembles the default color scheme for the Administrator side of Apricot, although now it can be applied to the user side or My Apricot side of the database as well. Backgrounds are gray-scale. Text is gray-scale or mint.
Accessing Color and Contrast Options for Individual Users
Individual users may personalize the color and text contrast levels of Apricot.

User Preferences
Expand the black arrow on one of the drop down menus to access the available color options.
Only users with access to some of the features on the Administrator tab will see options for changing the appearance under the Administrator tab.
Once you have made your selections, click Save User Preferences.
- Note: anything marked "Site Setting" will have the appearance chosen by the Administrator for the entire Apricot site (see above).
Text Option
Full Black for All Text
Full Black for All Text is a subtler change - background colors remain unchanged, but any text that would have appeared as gray will now be changed to full black.
If you use HTML label fields or HTML code with colored text, these colors will all appear as black or white.
Actions Menu Options
Many "Actions" in Apricot are available in an actions tab where users can create new records, edit existing records, and create new forms. The Actions tab can be changed here to a dropdown menu in the right hand palette of many Apricot pages, which makes it more compatible with screen readers for visually impaired users.
