Research direction
Start by reviewing the Odoo web client addons in this repository and the linked accessibility examples to understand how a user preference module could fit. The issue proposes high contrast, a dyslexia font, text resizing, line spacing, and dark mode, but names no files or tests. Done would require agreeing on scope and implementing and checking the selected accessibility adjustments.

Description
Describe the solution you'd like
In order to help make Odoo more accessible, could there be a module that allows users to adjust:
- High contrast
- Dyslexia font (e.g. OpenDyslexic)
- Text resizing
- Line spacing
- Dark mode
Of course, by WCAG/WAD accessibilty standards, much more needs to be done to make a website truly accesible, and this by default, but maybe this could already be a step in the right direction.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- For some few issues, the web_theme_classic will suffice. But thats not a full accessibility solution.
- there is an OPL licensed module here: https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/18.0/odoo-allinoneaccessibility
Additional context
- the OCA partner Vertel has created a tool for conducting WCAG investigations of websites. The tool is a combination of a list of points to investigate from DIGG. SE (they had a good set of questions that resulted in an Excel sheet with the points that should be included, usually around 50 depending on the audience and type of website). These form the basis for a formal WCAG investigation with recommendations for further development, known as Accessibility Reports.
See https://github.com/vertelab/odoo-project (project_wcag / website_project_wcag) and https://odoo-wcag.eu/ - accessibility (based on WCAG) will be mandatory for many private sector services in the EU starting June 2025, due to the European Accessibility Act.
