Change ClassLink Theme
The next option you have is to make changes to the ClassLink theme in order to improve viability. Log into ClassLink and click on your profile icon in the top right. From here, click on "SETTINGS."
From the Settings window, click on the Themes tab. On this page, you can make changes to your dashboard settings. Once you have finished close the window by clicking the "X" in the top right.
The "Classic" theme is the default layout. You can change your App Size option to "Large." This will increase the size of the icons and font. You can also enable the "High Contrast" option. This will set your background to white and add dark outlines to the icons to make them easier to see.
The other option you may consider is using the "Primary" theme. This theme increases the icon size and arranges them more like app buttons you would find on a tablet. You can also use the "High Contrast" option to make the icons and buttons more distinct.
