Hi all - pardon me if this is the wrong place to post this, but I am a moderator on a site (opposite-lock.com) that runs NodeBB as our software. I don't deal with the dev side of things, but just had a comment from a friend of mine who uses the site and thought it was a good suggestion.

My friend is colorblind (reds and blues) and, no matter what theme he selects on our site, he finds the minimal change to the upvote icon incredibly hard to see, so he has a hard time knowing if he upvoted something already or not.

Is there a chance we could get the upvote icon improved for those with color-blindness so that, rather than just changing color, the icon for an already self-upvoted upvote button changes more noticeable? Like, for example...maybe a circle appears behind it, or a square? Or it turns into a checkmark...?

Essentially, have it change in a way so, even if somebody were COMPLETELY colorblind, they would still be able to tell that it has changed?

Thanks for all the great work you do and I hope this is a sensible and easily-addable request!

@downpw I don't have access to the site so I can't change anything myself....I'm assuming this is in a file somewhere?

@gotwf Cheers for the reply! Yes, I would imagine it wouldn't be all that difficult to rectify, and it would make things easier for those with a color-blindness handicap....such a simple thing that most of us overlook it, but even such a minor change would make a big difference to them!

I forgot this would, of course, have to apply to downvotes as well (we have downvotes disabled at Oppositelock).

Thanks folks! Posted on the github issues page as a feature request and it's already marked as milestone....kudos NodeBB devs! ^_^
