Greetings and salutations.
I'm hoping I'm not the first person to have asked this, but here
goes. I'm wanting to develop software for MacOS 10.4 (and, really,
who wouldn't?). I'm using ... or, rather, attempting to use ...
XCode (nothing new there; EVERYONE uses XCode to develop on 10.4,
yeah?). Here's where it gets interesting. I'm completely blind.
That's right, couldn't see an enlarged 30X replica of my hand three
inches from my face. What I'm hoping is that some creative mind here
knows how I might design a UI either without using Interface Builder
(I mean it. I'd rather create the whole schmear at runtime in
Objective C than have to find, which translates to, "contract", a
sighted person to design every dialog box, form, application window,
toolbar, and message box for me (expensive proposition, that one)),
or using Interface Builder in conjunction with VoiceOver (It's very
keen on telling me about a "scroll area" there in the Instances tab,
but refuses to tell me what's in it. And as to finding the controls
to drop on the window, it's helpful like the local weather forecast
scrolling across my screen is helpful to me. =) ) I'm to the point
where, if need be, I'd do all my dev work on a PC and testing on my
iBook, but, right now, having a sighted person draw my interfaces is
impractical, and command line apps don't really sell.
Regards,
Chris
