VS includes several features that make it more friendly to those who are visually impaired.
First, it includes a blue theme with extra contrast, as shown in Figure 1.19. This theme helps maximize readability and reduce fatigue for people with vision problems such as color blindness or those with eyestrain and may even be useful for developers who spend a lot of time in front of the computer.
Another feature that has been recently introduced is the ability to add sounds when certain events happen in the IDE. For example, you could add a sound to alert you when the execution of an application reaches a breakpoint, or when there is an error in your code.
