StarNet’s
X-Win32 and X-Win64 software
products are X-Window server software programs that remotely display the
interface of third party X-Window applications and enable the user to
interact with those applications. While
StarNet has made every reasonable effort to ensure that X-Win32 and
X-Win64 user interface elements are 508 compliant, we cannot be
responsible for third party applications or the 508 compliance of the
X-Window protocol. Please note that the table below applies only to
X-Win32 and X-Win64 user interface components.
Note: The comments in this matrix are produced as a result of
top-level analysis only, not thorough product testing. All future development plans are subject to change.

Section 508
Requirement
|
StarNet X-Win32 and
X-Win64
|
|
(a) When software is designed to run on a
system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable
from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of
performing a function can be discerned textually.
|
X-Win32
and X-Win64 provide keyboard equivalents for all actions.
|
|
(b) Applications shall not disrupt or
disable activated features of other products that are identified as
accessibility features, where those features are developed and
documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall
not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system
that are identified as accessibility features where the application
programming interface for those accessibility features has been
documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is
available to the product developer.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 do not interfere with the
accessibility features built into the operating system.
|
|
c) A well-defined on-screen indication of
the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive
interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be
programmatically exposed so that assistive technology can track
focus and focus changes.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 provide visual focus
indicator through the standard functions built into the operating
system. (Except for the
host-controlled cursor in any host-controlled client area).
|
|
(d) Sufficient information about a user
interface element including the identity, operation and state of the
element shall be available to assistive technology. When an image
represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image
must also be available in text.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 provide information about
the user interface objects.
|
|
(e) When bitmap images are used to identify
controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the
meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout an
application's performance.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 use consistent images to
identify controls.
|
|
(f) Textual information shall be provided
through operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum
information that shall be made available is text content, text input
caret location, and text attributes.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 provide text through
standard system function calls or through an application programming
interface which supports interaction with assistive technology.
|
|
(g) Applications shall not override user
selected contrast and color selections and other individual display
attributes.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 user interface inherit
system settings for font, size and color. They support system settings for high contrast for all user
interface controls. (Except
for the client area which is controlled by a remote host)
|
|
(h) When animation is displayed, the
information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated
presentation mode at the option of the user.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 do not use animation in
the user interface. (Except
when the host application requires it)
|
|
(i) Color coding shall not be used as the
only means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting
a response, or distinguishing a visual element.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 do not use color as an
enhancement to convey information or indicate an action.
|
|
(j) When a product permits a user to adjust
color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable
of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 provide a variety of color
selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels.
|
|
(k) Software shall not use flashing or
blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink
frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.
|
X-Win32 and X-Win64 do not use blinking text,
object or other elements. (Except
when the host application requires it)
|
|
(l) When electronic forms are used, the
form shall allow people using assistive technology to access the
information, field elements, and functionality required for
completion and submission of the form, including all directions and
cues.
|
Not applicable. X-Win32 and X-Win64 do not use forms.
