Visual Accessibility Features - Text Size, Margin Control, Contrast Mode, Bold Text, etc

Hey all, I'm hoping to get some support for basic text accessibility features.

  1. Set Text Size Default - to allow all body text in Capacities to default to a larger size
  2. UI Text Size Slider - ability to allow the UI text to be made bigger, even if it's ugly or cuts off in some places, it's useful for those of us with low vision
  3. Ability to set narrower margins for text blocks - A wide page is trickier for me to read, if I can control the margins to narrow the size of a page or text block, that would be very helpful
  4. Line spacing/height control default - ability to set wider space between the lines makes it easier for those of us with blind spots to jump to the correct line
  5. Contrast Mode - would ideally set the colors to be fully opaque, so that the icons are easier to catch
  6. Bold Text UI Toggle - switches all UI text to bold to enable easier reading

Since these would ideally be located under an Accessibility tab, I think customers would understand that these tools may change the aesthetic of the app, but I personally value the ability to access my files for the next 2-3 years more than aesthetics. These kinds of features also help anyone with eye strain and any user whose eyesight is going with age. I myself am going blind and do not want to be forced to swap tools earlier than I have to.

Strongly seconding this. I love capacities, but I should be able to use my note-taking app on days when my vision is acting up and I need the text size to be bigger.
