Sheepdog

Apple Categorizes an array of vision accessibility features under the Display section of the accessibility menu.

A sheep dog or sheepdog is generally a dog or breed of dogs historically used in connection with the raising of sheep.These may include livestock guardian used to guard sheep and other livestock in farms for farmers or herding dogs used to herd sheep and other livestock. Mac OS X¶ /dev/cdrom is an alias to the first CDROM. Currently there is no specific code to handle removable media, so it is better to use the change or eject monitor commands to change or eject media.

To get there: System Preferences > Accessibility > Display

There are a ton of options in this menu to make it easier to look at your mac screen so let's dive right in:

Invert Colors

Digsby The Sheepdog Mac Os Catalina

This option, when checked, will do exactly what you think it will… invert all the colors on your screen – no matter what. This means grey becomes shades of black, blue becomes orange, orange becomes blue… etc. This includes pictures, buttons, and applications. The purpose is to make things easier to see especially if you have a hard time with certain colors.

Need another reason to turn this on? Try using this for night reading. This will invert black text to white while changing the white background to black making the screen of text easier to read in a dark room.

Grayscale will turn everything on your screen to a shade of gray. So if you are worried about colors, this is your off switch. It's simple straightforward and extremely useful for those who have different colorblindness.

This makes subtle differences such and square and circle buttons to show the difference between them instead of (or in addition to) using different color. The main example was in messages when you set your status, away status would be depicted with a square instead of a circle so that those who are colorblind would have a visible difference. I haven't seen any other solid examples of this… if you find one let me know.

Be careful, because turning this off after you've had it on will make you dizzy. Reduce motion is for those with vertigo or who are just really sensitive to things moving. There a lot of animations on the mac that those who aren't sensitive to motion won't notice. This such as switching between desktops (4 finger swipe left or right) or pulling up the notification center (2 finger swipe from the right edge). When reduce motion is turned on, instead of a swiping animation they fade from one screen to the next making it easier on your eyes and stomach.

Increase contrast adds extra definition to windows, buttons, etc. It creates black borders around everything to make it clear what is a button and what isn't. It also reduces transparency.

The dock, the menu bar, and many other screens are normally transparent which means that some color from your desktop picture peaks through background of the menus, etc. For some people, this makes these menus harder to see. Checking reduce transparency will make the backgrounds solid taking out the transparency to make it easier to see

This item is on a scale from 'Normal' to 'Maximum'. Instead of creating defining lines around buttons and screens like increase contrast does, this increases the brightness of the white and darkness of the black to edit the extremes. It greatly effects color and defining lines. This makes some things easier to see and others more difficult so it will certainly need adjustments to find the right spot for you.

Changes the size of your cursor. This can make it easier to see and easier to find. From 'Normal' to 'Large', you'll have to adjust the scale to find what works best for you.

This is a newer feature, when you shake your cursor with this item checked, it will increase in size temporarily to help you locate it. This can be handy for anyone, especially those using multiple monitor or large screens where it's easy to lose your mouse.
