Is SolarWinds NPM (And I guess all Orion Products) "508-Compliant"

And if you were like me and asked, "Huh?  What is "508-Compliance?", here is a blog post about it:

A Designer’s Guide To Accessibility and 508 Compliance | Viget

Basically, does SolarWinds have the ability to change font sizes, color templates/skins, accessibility cues for the web pages, etc?

Thanks ahead of time all.

I would have to say "no" with some caveats.   There is a way to change color schemes, and you can choose between "small / medium / large" for font size, but you don't have that much control.  I also don't think you can do this on a per-user basis.   They also mentioned "ALT" tags for graphics, which I don't believe they have many of these set. 

AFAIK you also can't change these settings on a per-user basis either.

You can do a lot of customization and such though, create special views.  Even go edit the HTML directly if you really want, but I think some of your changes could be blown away on an upgrade.

There are automated tools that will check for 508 compliance for you, but I seriously doubt it is right now.   And I believe it would take a major shift in terms of both development and technology for them to even try and support it.
