## Description

Klaro Admin Accessibility helps users with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities
work in the WordPress admin area. It is the companion plugin to the [Klaro accessibility-first theme](https://wordpress.org/themes/klaro/),
but it targets the WordPress core admin and works with any theme.

#### Features

 * **High contrast admin** – Black background with white text throughout the admin
   area, including the admin menu, toolbar, tables, and forms.
 * **Large admin text** – 18px base text, larger form fields, and 44px minimum button
   height for easier reading and clicking.
 * **Enhanced focus indicators** – Highly visible 3px outlines on every focused 
   link, button, and form field, meeting the 3:1 contrast requirement for UI controls.
 * **Reduce motion** – Suppresses admin animations and transitions for users whose
   operating system does not expose a reduced-motion preference.
 * **Simplify admin menu** – Hides the Tools and Comments menus for non-administrator
   users, removes secondary dashboard widgets, and switches the dashboard to a single
   column, reducing cognitive load.
 * **Classic editor toggle** – Replaces the block editor with the classic editor,
   which some assistive technology users find easier to navigate. Defers to the 
   Classic Editor plugin when that is active.

All settings are site-wide and live under Settings > Admin Accessibility.

#### What WordPress already provides

The WordPress admin already ships keyboard shortcuts, screen reader landmarks, a“
Skip to main content” link, and honors your operating system’s reduced-motion preference.
This plugin adds options on top of those built-in features instead of duplicating
them.

#### For developers

The resolved feature flags can be filtered:

    ```
    add_filter( 'klaro_aa_enabled_features', function ( $features ) {
        $features['high_contrast'] = true; // force a feature on
        return $features;
    } );
    ```

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/klaro-admin-accessibility/`, or
    install through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to Settings > Admin Accessibility to enable the features you need.

## FAQ

### Does this affect my site’s visitors?

No. Every feature applies to the admin area only. Front-end accessibility is the
theme’s job (the Klaro theme covers it).

### Do I need the Klaro theme?

No. The plugin styles the WordPress core admin and works with any theme.

### Are the settings per-user?

Version 1.0.0 applies settings site-wide. Per-user preferences are planned for a
future release.

### What happens on uninstall?

The plugin deletes its single `klaro_aa_options` option. No other data is stored.
