Theme Compliance

Category: Simple testing.

Enable Accessibility: Optional

Test Aim

In GNOME, all applications should be customisable in terms of colour, font and display layout. GNOME has a special set of themes available for visually impaired which are available through the theme capplet. The test aim here is,

• To ensure that the desktop and the applications respect these themes.

• A user should be able to override the default settings for an application or the desktop as a whole.

Test Setup Notes

• Test can be started after a typical install of the desktop.

• Ensure that the accessible themes are available and listed in the Theme Capplet. If it’s not available, then download it from: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-themes/.

Tester Notes

• Work with an application across theme, font and size changes and ensure that the themes are respected.

• Use the inverse theme and ensure that all information is available. This is equivalent to printing screen shots to a black and white printer and checking for information loss.

• Work with all themes and look out for any discrepancies in the user interface of the application when themes are changed.

• Check if any information is provided only through colour.

• Change the font and check if the settings are maintained.
