Description Frank Schönheit 2010-06-25 11:56:00 UTC 
Recently, we switched to the paradigm that we use a (system-wide) flag for
determining whether the application needs to run in high-contrast mode
(previously, this was decided on a per-control basis, examining its background
color, and checking whether it is "dark").

This works fine inside the core native OOo code, but as a pure UNO extension,
there is no chance to ask for this global flag - there's simply no API for it.

Consequently, if you want to create an extension which fulfills Accessibility
requirements, you cannot do this - as you cannot find out about the high
contrast mode, you cannot provide HC-compliant images in your extension's UI,
which would be a requirement for A11Y-compliance.

So, we need a UNO API which allows to query this high-contrast flag.

fixed in CWS unoawt2, by introducing an XStyleSettingsSupplier (implemented by
control/peers), giving you access to an XStyleSettings instance.
