Thanks for letting us know about this gap in our documentation, we’ll get that fixed up.
In the meantime, the eye is our accessibility option which utilises colour blind friendly alternatives (which I personally think are better even for those with good vision)
The first implementation of a colourblind friendly accessible theme hit the OGS servers back in February.

and I just got a notification today that GitHub just added their own accessibility themes…

So… that means we’re ahead of GitHub in our accessible development
FYI OGS now has an “accessible theme”:

It mostly affects the profile page, and presence indicators (everywhere).
There’s ongoing work to improve the main themes so that this isn’t needed, but meanwhile if there’s anything you need to make OGS easier to use from a colour/design perspective, let us know - it’s much easier to add a solution to this theme, even temporarily, while the main ones are refined.
The colors of those little filled online status circles in the game view (in the left upper corners of the players’ icons) are difficult to distinguish for colorblinds like me (deuteroanomaly, green-weakness).
Could you please choose colors that are much more easily to distinguish for everybody, with more contrast?
Thank you in advance.
