--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Disagree, there is no a11y issue--the current Tango icons themed by ODF
document type when displayed on Windows taskbar are easily identifiable and are
unique both in color but equally in shape [1]. The icons clearly identifies
what module is represented.

Rather, the issue for Windows users is that as screen resolution has increased
Microsoft has allowed the size of the icons on the task bar to shrink. Also, a
default user profile from Windows 8 on it DE enables the "Use small taskbar
buttons" setting--where rather than our 32px icons, we get 16px icons.

The default small buttons mode provide a taskbar 30px high. Disabled, the
taskbar is 40px high--meaning, that with "Use small taskbar buttons" the
Windows DE shifts to labels with our 16px Tango icons, but with buttons from XP
and Windows 7 it uses the 32px icons.

Attaching clips of the taskbar at both settings from a 1920x1080 96dpi monitor
on Windows 10.
