About UI colors and color-blind people

When you decide for discriminating colors in your UI,
I suggest you transfer a print-screen to Photoshop
and use the vischeck (free) plugin to simulate how
it looks for a great proportion of the male customers.

See
http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/

Thank you in advance.

As Autopano UI icons are *.png images in a particular directory they are easy to change (I did that for some of them, just for fun.) An alternative series could be designed.

For Control points colors an optional yellow to blue variation would be preferable ?

BTW, this thread should be moved to the Future forum !
