+<para>&kde; can use its own stylesheet, based on simple defaults and
+the color scheme you are using for your desktop. &kde; can also use a
+stylesheet that you have written yourself. Finally, you can specify a
+stylesheet in this module. The options presented in this module are
+tuned for accessibility purposes, especially for people with reduced
+vision.</para>
+
+<para>Your choices here affect every &kde; application that renders HTML
+with &kde;'s own renderer, which is called khtml. These include
+&kmail;, &khelpcenter; and of course &konqueror;. Choices here do not
+affect other browsers such as &Netscape;.</para>

+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Base Font Size</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>This is the default size for text on the page. Many web sites set
+their font sizes relative to this default, using <quote>larger</quote>
+or <quote>+1</quote> to make the text bigger, and <quote>smaller</quote>
+or <quote>-1</quote> to make the text smaller.</para>
+<para>Many people design their web pages on platforms where the ordinary
+default text size is too large for the average user to read, so it is
+very common to come across web pages that have forced the font smaller
+in this way.</para>
+<para>This setting will allow you to set the default font to a
+comfortable size, so that the relative sizes are also enlarged enough to
+be comfortable.</para>
+<para>Do not forget you can also have &konqueror; enforce a minimum size,
+so that text is <emphasis>never</emphasis> too small to read. Set that
+under Behavior, in the Web Browser section in &kcontrol;.</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Use same size for all elements</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>If you enable this option, then all text will be rendered at your
+specified font size, regardless of the instructions the page contains.
+Relative font sizes as discussed earlier, and even specific instructions
+that text should be rendered at a certain size will be overridden
+here.</para>

+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Black on White</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>Many people with reduced vision find black text on a white screen
+gives the most contrast, and is easiest to read. If this applies to
+you, you can set this here.</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>White on Black</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>Many other people with reduced vision find the opposite to be
+true, that white text on a black screen is easier to read.</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Custom</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>Still other people find that pure black and white, in either
+order, is difficult to read. You can set custom colors here for both
+the <guilabel>Background</guilabel> and the
+<guilabel>Foreground</guilabel>.</para>
+</listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Use same color for all text</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>Many web sites use a different, often contrasting color for
+headings or other flourishes. If this interferes with your ability to
+read the content, you can enable this checkbox to have &kde; use the
+colors you have set above for all text.</para>

+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Suppress background images</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<para>One major problem for reduced vision users is that background
+images do not give sufficient contrast to allow them to read the text.
+You can disable background images here, independently of your choice
+above to view all images.</para>

+<title>Preview</title>
+
+<para>The <guibutton>Preview</guibutton> allows you to see the effect of
+your changes. A window will pop up, showing how several types of
+headings will appear with your stylesheet, and a sentence in the default
+body text.</para>
+
+<para>This should allow you to fine tune your stylesheet until you have
+something that you can comfortably read.</para>
