i made the icons bigger now so that no one loses sight of them and they are just one click away!! any icon, and it’s divided between two panels, reminiscent of gnome2, classic gnome2.

and it is in light mode, if i made a distro and added xfce, i would make so many changes!! like light mode only (for elderly and visually impaired and people who like reading a lot, that is me yea) and big icons so that everyone knows what’s going on.

    I think the multiple panels would be confusing for elderly people

    How can multiple panels confuse elderly people?

      some strip at the top, another at the bottom… what are these? they have unfamiliar pictures and no text labels at all.

      I regularly help people who have difficulties in understanding and using the government’s 2FA login, even after they used it multiple times already. they are not disabled, some of them elder, others are middle aged, they are regular people with a job and a car, but they still have difficulties with using a popular cloud based password manager, and remembering which login method to choose because there is 3 and only 1 works for everyone.
      this 2 panel setup is nothing to me, but it is more complicated than 2FA to them.
