This morning I had the opportunity to evaluate the accessibility of the d7ux administration theme (Information Architecture) "Seven". My evaluation was not intended to be thorough, or to identify every web accessibility conformance problem, but to get a feel for what the theme will be like for screen-reader users, and what broad accessibility issues need to be addressed.
I must say that from the perspective of a Drupal administrator and screen-reader user that I believe that the theme will be seen as a useful and welcome addition to Drupal 7 by many users. Although there are clearly many accessibility issues to tidy up before Seven is truly accessible, I was surprised at how easy it was to get accustomed to using the iframe "Overlay" panel which appears at the bottom of the page, (if navigated in DOM order).
