+
+FreeBSD provides the Ports Collection to give users and administrators a simple way to install applications.
+The collection provides tens of thousands of ports; port configuration is a key feature.
+It is possible to configure a port before the building and installation.
+The command "make config" uses a text user interface (TUI) to set up port options interactively.
+
+Recently low vision users (mainly with cataracts) have requested new features to easily change the colors of the TUI.
+Several features have been implemented to allow changing colors, for example: a new environment variable to set the UI to black and white, or the ability to set colors by reading a configuration file at runtime.
+All features have been described in man:portconfig[1] since version 0.6.2.
+
+To note, blind users can refer to https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2023-07-2023-09/#_portoptscliports_collection_accessibility[PortOptsCLI - Ports Collection Accessibility, Status Report Third Quarter 2023] to use the Ports Collection.
+
+Tips and new ideas are welcome.
+If possible, send reports to the FreeBSD Accessibility mailing list, to share and to track discussions in a public place.
