Suggestion: keyboard and system settings for people with eyesight problems

Since I have some eyesight problems I would like to suggest the following.

  1. in the latest update (1.0.4.20) there is a very better keyboard. The letters are extremely more readable than before for people like me with eyesight problems. White letters on a dark background are very good. The best would be an option to have a keyboard similar to the N9 one: completely black with white letters, but the latest Sailfish keyboard is fine too. Suggestion: if you choose to change the keyboard layout in future updates, please keep an option to set a keyboard layout like the 1.0.4.20 one!

  2. it would be useful in order to reduce eyesight problems to have some accessibility option like the ones we have in iOS 7.1, they are very good (I don't know how Android is about this subject). Specifically I mean options to set contrast, to decrease the white point, to darken system colours (as I stated before, keep an eye to iOS 7.1).

Please consider eyesight difficulties in your future updates, it's important for people like me. Maybe we aren't a very big number, but we exist and use smartphones!
