# Accessibility Settings

Amal includes three accessibility settings you can adjust from the profile menu. Each applies
immediately to the whole app and persists across sessions.

## Where to find the settings

Open the account menu (your name in the top corner of the screen) → **Accessibility Settings**.
The three toggles appear together.

## High contrast

When turned on, every status colour in the platform (the tier-chip colours on student cards and
the slope-chart shading) switches to a high-contrast pair with at least 7:1 colour contrast.
Charts also add a pattern texture (hatching or dots) alongside colour so the same information is
readable without relying on colour alone.

This setting is useful if you work on a projector screen, in bright sunlight, or if you find it
easier to distinguish statuses by shape rather than shade.

## Clearer reading font ("خط أوضح للقراءة")

When turned on, all Arabic text in the app switches to the Lateef typeface (a simplified Naskh
with fewer ligatures, designed for literacy education). Lateef keeps letter shapes distinct and
supports full vowel marks (tashkeel), which can make reading easier for users who find the
standard font tiring.

> **Note:** This setting applies across the whole app — including student-facing pages when a student uses
> the same device. It has no effect on how the system measures or interprets student performance.

> **Warning:** This feature may not be available in your school yet. It is enabled school by school by the
> platform administrator. If you do not see the toggle, ask your administrator.

## Font size (100 % → 200 %)

The font-size control has four steps: **100 % · 125 % · 150 % · 200 %**. Every page in the
platform is tested to remain fully usable at 200 % — no buttons become unreachable, no text
is clipped.

If your browser already applies a system-level text zoom, the two combine, so you may prefer
to keep Amal at 100 % and adjust your browser instead. Either approach works.

## These settings apply to your account

Amal saves preferences in your browser for instant restore and offline use. When you are signed
in, the high-contrast and reading-font settings also sync to your account and are restored on
other devices. The font-size control is browser-local and does not sync across devices. On a
shared classroom device the browser-local copy takes effect immediately; the account sync is
best-effort and never blocks the toggle.
