Q: Is there any way to cut down the flashing, animation, etc. on the Mac?
I have severe sensory processing issues and can't take the visual pain, from all the animation, flashing, etc. any more.
I also have severe coordination issues, and rsi.
I've bought a lot of accessibility software, like Claroview, Scroll+, and even Dragon for Mac, but I can't find any help with the visual pain, can't use certain prefpanes wthout sticking a book in front of the screen, and need alternatives to most standard software, such as a heavily modded Firefox instead of Safari, and something new instead of Mail.
I don't have the disk space to dual-boot with Linux, so I am trying to figure out what I can do.
Unfortunately some of the flashing is built into OS X's default text-handling tools.
Are there guides to solving accessibility problems in OS X? If I have to go back to Linux, are there guides to avoiding inaccessible hardware and solving accessibility problems there?
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
