Patches are regularly posted, and I'm willing to test them, because rockbox is just too exciting to not contribute. My question is a bit off topic for this list, and I hope you can direct me further to a place where this belongs. Try the rockbox dev list. Go to the mailing list link from the rockbox home page for details. I'm installing the cygwin environment for windows, like you advised. During setup, I encounter the following accessibility situation. When asked to choose which packages to install, the interface in cygwin's setup.exe is not clear to me. There are a few radio buttons on the screen, out of which the one labeled "curr" is selected, likely telling setup to install the current versions of the packages on the mirrors on internet. The view is set to "cathegory" by default. Once you click a cathegory, it expands and you can choose which tool(s) to install. However, having reached the bottom of the screen, there obviously are many more items, but I don't have a way to scroll down. Page down does nothing, neither does that work if I first click an item or cathegory, to make the list gain focus. Is there a visual element on the screen to scroll down that sighted users utilize? A scroll bar or something else? I checked, but my screen reader does not see it. It must therefore be a non-standard, custom windows control, if it's there at all. I need to know how to scroll the display down, in order to complete cygwin installation, so I can move ahead towards trying out the rockbox patch. Can you tell me more? I am blind myself and needed sighted help to install cygwin. It is very good when it is up and running but is quite complicated to install. Let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck!
